How Product Management Supports Quality
summary
Argues that disciplined product management — clear documented requirements, intentional prioritization, and aligning effort with value — directly reduces wasted work on low-value features and prevents the “vicious spiral” of running out of time and money (analogy: Gimli Glider). Uses examples from energy systems and power plant controllers where mistakes cost hundreds of millions, and notes that technical product management plus model‑based specs produces QA test plans so teams build the right, testable product.
