Understanding the Problem
Developing software can be compared to an organic process like planting a garden.
With the right conditions, something will grow, but it may not be what we want or
indeed grow the way we want it. We might end up with a garden of roses or a jungle
of weeds. Any experienced gardener will tell us that what our garden needs most is
planning and tending, and the same is true for software development.
Of course, we can just start writing the code and we will get something??”maybe even
something that works!??”but if we invest a little time and effort in planning before we
write a single line, and in ensuring we tend the code we write, then we are far more
likely to achieve an end result that bears some resemblance to our initial vision.
