Who wants Change?
• Once there were four people named Everybody, Somebody,
Anybody, Nobody who wanted change.
• So, Everybody said "I want change".
• Somebody said "If only anybody would start to change, I will join."
• But Nobody said "I will change."
• Finally Everybody stayed same, blaming Somebody for waiting
for Anybody to start changing. So, nobody changed.

Who wants DfS?• Once there were four people named Everybody, Somebody,
Anybody, Nobody who wanted DfS.
• So, Everybody said “Let’s work together to review the design".
• Anybody can identify foreseeable design risk(s).
• Somebody must be able to eliminate, if not mitigate, the risk.
• And Nobody shall stop Anybody from doing so!
