To me, not being an expert, the article mentioning a lot of rigor and thoroughness to not run again into the A380 problems, this

"This is nothing new and isn't different from Boeing in anything they mentioned in the article."

I refer you to the classic " Erlang Style Actors Are All About Locking "

Open for any feedback and for things you think might be good extensions of functionality. Thanks.

They could just have two different frontends, everything else the same.

Great success.

Though my guess is all the people who applauded 37signals for their product strategy, will now again applaud 37signals.

And there will be a book "The One Product Company".
