What's behind a good design? Reusable Code A tight design uses less code and therefore less processing. It's also easy to update and understand. A good methodology is the key to planning efficient code. Consistent Coding Code consistency is the quality within the architecture. Information flows better, changes are easier and maintenance is less expensive.

Going from a vision to implementation, within a predictable time and resource budget requires a good methodology—and that only comes with experience.
