12. Probably the most important lesson learned was that the “start small and start fast” approach really worked well.

These users furnished valuable feedback to the organizers, rather than having users taking their gripes to management in the development phase.-Arthur Middleton Hughes12A Ashutosh Mishra Presentation .
