New Hire at the Pen Factory

What is Customization?

Customization

Fixing or creating a new program when an existing function does not work.

What it means

Requests that cannot be resolved by changing settings or working methods require program modification. This is custom development.

It costs money and time, and repaired parts have to be retouched every time the system is upgraded to a new version. So this is the final choice.

At the pen factory

None of the three demands on Day 22 resulted in changes to the program. Two were solved by permission and list registration, and one was solved by changing the order of work.

Why it matters

You must consider each request one by one, so that you can only fix what is absolutely necessary.
