Consider a project where a bug identified after 6 months of work cost the team $50,000 to resolve. If identified at the requirements phase, it would have cost $1,000. Calculate the cost difference and discuss the implications for project management strategies.
💡 Hint: Evaluate the 'cost of change' concept.
You are responsible for a complex embedded project with intricate interdependencies between hardware and software. Describe a series of steps to integrate simulation effectively into your design process.
💡 Hint: Think about the phases of development and how simulation fits into each.
