"We found a bug." "How did that happen? Obviously, it's a fault in the process. We need more up-front documentation. Here's a new form, and another form, and here's a process for creating a bug-prevention document, and a schedule for reviewing the bug-prevention document, and we'll assign the role of tracking the bug-prevention documents to Joe. Now, let's bring up Project... ah, yes, we'll just shrink down this 'coding' task a bit to make room for 'creating bug-prevention document', and a bit more to schedule in 'reviewing bug-prevention document', and just a little bit more to handle 'resolve action items resulting from review of bug-prevention document'."
