Let's build the Burj Khalifa feature on a summerhouse

scrum agile programming software architecture

Published: May 24, 2024

To build a building, you first need to know at least what kind of construction it will be. (skyscraper? datacenter? or someone's summer house?) Then, with the architecture and construction calculations, you begin with the foundation and structure.

You can't start the project from the penthouse!

And you can't add "Burj Khalifa's feature" on top of someone's summerhouse! 😉

Surprise surprise: The same applies to software!

Define your project's scope and requirements early on. Use this understanding to guide your design and build incrementally. Make sure to continuously re-evaluate your assumptions, iterate, and refine based on feedback.

Balance planning and coding by prioritizing clear goals and iterative development. This approach ensures a solid foundation and the flexibility to adapt as needed.
