Wont work in a corporation. Essentially because of the stupid end of year reviews.
What will happen is that managers will count the number of WARNs you send out and number of bugs found after your DONE. Programmers will then game the system so that they never send out a WARN and increase the number of "UNCLEARs" to make the manager look like an idiot. They will also only send a "DONE" after they;ve put the system into production.
I think the bottom line is that the programmer needs to feel a part of the team and to trust the manager. Ie the focus of the team is in making a great product and that its understood that mistakes will happen once in a while. Also that its okay to make a mistake (once in a while) as long as you have a backout plan in place and/or your on call when your feature goes live.
This kind of thinking you will not find in a corporation unfortunately.
