Ladies and Gentlemen,

I have a question that is off topic for this list. However, as we all =
work at companies ranging from medium tech to very high tech, this =
seemed a good source for a non-scientific poll.

For your "typical" projects, how many circuit board revisions does it =
take to go from the block diagram stage to full production release?

I know that in the perfect world, everyone would answer "One board, my =
first prototype is always perfect." But we've probably all seen the =
project where we're sent off to design a left-handed widget and =
eventually deliver the flux capacitor that they really wanted - but only =
after a large number of revisions and redesigns because they couldn't =
figure out how to ask for what they wanted. What I'm interested in is =
not the extreme revision numbers, but the typical number of revisions =
for typical projects. And please do include all revisions for DFM, DFT, =
EMC/EMI related modifications.

Thanks for your responses.
Bill
