A batch of the best highlights from what Todd's read, .

Instead of letting defects accumulate, run tests as soon as the code is written. Instead of adding more documentation or detailed planning, try checking out ideas by writing code. Instead of gathering more requirements from users, show them an assortment of potential user screens and get their input. Instead of studying more carefully which tool to use, bring the top three candidates inhouse and test them. Instead of trying to figure out how to convert an entire system in a single massive effort, create a Web front end to the legacy system and try the new idea out.
