If you had to use a piece of software that ran lengthy operations and had to start over from the beginning if it was interrupted for any reason, would it be more effective to prevent interruptions as best you can and hope they never happen, or to fix the program so it saves its work along the way and can restart after an interruption? There are a lot of reason why you can get interrupted, not all of which are your boss stopping by for an update.

I.e. Some feature needs too long to be implemented? Ok lets fix these slow workers, send all the devs to a workshop for time-management and speed-coding or whatever.
