Detailed, useful documentation prepared during development

Choose one.

Uh, I sort'a thought there was a third option there. And more rapid...

If you increase the programming effort, you're taking away effort from the

parallel, the documenters end up nagging the programmers for information,
slowing both teams down. Fred Brooks covered this some time ago.
