Stay on Track: Regular Reviews to Prevent Costly Mistakes
When you’re deep into a project, it’s easy to feel confident about what needs to be done, only to realize later that your understanding was off. This is why it’s essential to regularly review your task documentation—whether it’s a user story, requirements document, or project brief. Don’t fall into the trap of coding for days or weeks without revisiting the details. It’s surprisingly easy to forget or misremember key information. Regularly touching base with your customer or project stakeholder to review your progress and clarify details can save you from costly mistakes and misunderstandings later on. Remember, it’s always better to catch errors early and adjust your course than to discover them after weeks of work.
