In any regulated industry, it's easy to fall into the trap of justifying doing things just because the regulations say so. It's better to understand the motivation behind the regulatory requirements; and generally they come down to what's best practice anyway. So follow them because it's good practice, not because you have to. This can make quite a difference. For example, when you're doing a design review, do it because you want to improve the quality of the design; not because the regulations say you have to. The latter can end up becoming a rubber-stamping exercise, which negates the benefit of doing the review. Social Bookmark this page:
