Does “Quality” really equal “Value”?
I've got a question... I've always liked the definition of quality to be "value to someone who matters", but I've hit a problem with the way this feels when I say it. When we read out loud: "Quality equals Value to someone who matters", then it shows that we are really saying that quality IS [...]
