Stamatis. This is an excellent documented process to achieve execution of the product with excellence and on time. What is described is a plan to win. When you follow the steps described with discipline, you can expect to win. As described in the book: The assigned members need to take ownership of the tasks and stay focused. On team work, that will bring synergy, communication, to insure alignment, timing, and planning that results in commitment to the winning results. It will help identify activities that bring continuous improvement to the process and the product. -Antonios Katakis, General Motors, USA
