The article tried to give some sense of the activities and the amount of work still remaining after the creation of the first working product breadboard. It is estimated that typically only 10-50% of the work has been done by the time this first breadboard is done. The rest of the effort will typically require significant cooperation between employees in each functional area. All of these activities are designed to deliver a product that will allow the organization to manufacture the product repeatedly, with predictable delivery, quality, cost, and performance.
