“Fail early and often”
— IDEO adage

Changes are inevitable. Testing early in cheap ways ensures the bulk of the budget goes to the right places.

Because product financing is subject to change, you have to adapt and be nimble. The cost of change escalates at later stages of production. 

My experiences at different levels has taught me about production costs and budgets. I understand that time in some areas is more costly than others, and the need for management's voice in delegation, prioritization, and streamlining.
