I guess it's a tried and tested formula that's why it's still around these days. ;)

@dimaks – Yup, even in my limited experience with software development or systems analysis and design, proper documentation is really a lifesaver. Anything happens to other phases of the project, you can always go back to the documentation. :D

I agree with fruityoaty. Even in my field of work where we use block box tools most of the time, documentation of the process or procedure done in a certain data set serves significantly in many future undertakings.

@Jim – I agree. The customer should properly specify what they want in the product. However, there could still be problems if the analyst doesn't understand it well and designs it differently and same happens to the programmer. It's a chain reaction. I think the most important thing is that the project leader makes sure that all aspects of the project are done in accordance to the right specifications. :)

@fruityoaty – You're also right about that. You'll save a lot of headache and problems with proper planning & documentation. I think that's what separates a good company or project team from the rest.

Yup, integrity is really important. It's one of the secrets to success. :)
