New products have conflicting development objectives of quality, timely delivery, and cost.

You can specify a deadline, but you then must be willing to sacrifice quality and spend money to meet the deadline.

You can have a fixed budget, but then quality and development time must be flexible.  A fixed development budget is only practical for enhancing an existing product for which costs are known.

You can have quality objectives, but then you must be willing to take the time and spend the money to achieve them.  Almost always that means delays in delivery.

For me, I’ll wait for the quality.

One of the project managers at Hewlett Packard used to have a sign on
his wall:  "Quality, speed, cost.  Pick any two."

I once told an Air Force Logistics Command general, "Good, Fast, Cheap.
  Pick 2 Sir."  He ultimately printed and framed it for his wall.

You've obviously not read Goldratt's "The Goal", or the new "The Phoenix
Project" that references the former heavily.

I will agree on waiting for the quality, "superior" product, though.  :^)
