11. “Done correctly, the Working Backwards process is a
huge amount of work. But, it saves you even more
work later. The Working Backwards Process is not
designed to be easy, it’s designed to save huge
amounts of work on the backend, and to make sure
we’re actually building the right thing.
”Jeffrey P. Bezos
Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Amazon.com, Inc.
