#'''Assembly and troubleshooting.''' This will always take longer than you think and there will always be more problems than you think, leave buffer time!

#'''Prototype vs product.''' You will do your testing with different components than what will be in your final product. In electronics you might use jumper cables and breadboards to test but wire cut to length and protoboard should be used in a final prototype. In mechanical you might use hot glue or wood/plastic to test but proper fasteners and metal parts should be used in a final prototype (if applicable). In software you might use pseudo-code or only sub-functions to test but all code should run without user interference in a final prototype.

#'''Aesthetics and finishing.''' Don't forget that an aesthetically pleasing product always takes it the extra mile and different finishings (paint, sealant, etc) is important in most cases.
