'Technically, it is comparatively easy to build the first prototype of a system - there are no live users to support and it is possible to ignore technical disciplines in favour of getting the appearance and processing right, and ensuring the business needs are met. The difficulty comes with building version two, when the technical disciplines have to be reinstated, when there is a new and technically fragile live system to support, whose demands on programmers' time may have been underestimated, and when a mistake runs the risk of compromising a live system.'
