Even if Software-Systems have a certain complexity, the goal should always be to break it down to simpler processes. So it's good to separate major from minor requirements from the beginning of the project. Lastly you would like to have Software which is extensible and easy to maintain.

Modern Software-Development methods like SCRUM allow us to keep the development processes lean, so you can concentrate on the main parts. Unfortunately you see SCRUM at it's best only in a minority of companies, because their internal processes or the processes of their customers are not fully adaptable to the rules of SCRUM. So it might happen that mixed forms of SCRUM cause more complexity than they help to simplify them. Sometimes there is also no time or courage to do things different than normal.

Working with high quality standards also means to me as a Software-developer to choose the right tools for development. I use a set of tools from which I know that everything fits together well and that is extensible. Respecting quality begins even at early project phase. Are essential parts and requirements missing or not well described, you have hassle during the whole project. This costs beside stress and loss of time of course valuable budget.

Thanks to modern frameworks and best practice approaches you can reach a good quality in Software development. A quality killer is often the lack of time or human fault too. Not well tested Software and a refactoring from refactoring and again refactoring speak volumes and can fail the whole project. Therefore the main goal should be to achieve quality through all phases of the project.

Working with exactness is for me a matter of course. Reliability is not only important in case of Software, but also in daily business and communication with colleagues. If a team pull together, targets can be reached fast and easily. For me common sense is just as important as expertise. I very much like to work with kind people and reach goals together. You can count on me!

Sticking to established standards and testing not only at the end of a project guarantee Software products with high reliability. Simplicity also leads to more reliability. And reliability is a very good sign for quality.
