We are fortunate to be in an industry buzzing with energy creating exciting innovations and tools, every single day. However, time and again, building reliable software has remained a challenge. In this competitive world, being first is considered more important than being perfect. But customers have always valued perfection and quality products have their own place in the market. If you thought your projects had impossible constraints and difficult timelines, imagine trying to build the Great Pyramid. How did the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt achieve Continuous Quality in their buildings?
Built 4500 years ago, The Great pyramid of Giza remains today as a defining symbol of quality of any man made structure on earth. It stands unfazed today against earthquakes, vandalism, hurricanes and the demise of the very own civilization that built it. It is not only an engineering marvel, but a benchmark of Quality Management implementation. Even with today’s modern technology, it is next to impossible to build something that lasts with the quality and precision of the Pyramids.
What did the Pharaohs do differently? What can we learn from it to build great software? How can we ensure continuous quality?
