Edwards Deming stated in Out of the Crisis: Cease dependence on inspection to achieve quality. My guess is in a very well operating software development system (focused on Deming, good software practices…) code review would not be needed to inspect for quality. Like many practices the form it takes can vary quite a bit.

To that end, Dr. Deming might well ask, “By what method” can we determine the “right” things to do? BE the first to find out about Deming community events, updates, and learning opportunities. Wisdom, from this perspective, may be in discerning the need for a process, without which we may be forced to rely entirely on one’s intuition.

Are operational definitions the same across different data sources? As Dr. Deming would say, “ Without a theory there is no learning.” We have the opportunity to learn through the testing of new and expanded theories. At the same time, we need to be vigilant about understanding the data we are using. What is our theory?
