Overview

And because of that, most conversations around software start with questions like: “How long will it take?” “How much will it cost?” “What tech stack should we use?” These are valid questions.

But interestingly, they’re not the ones that usually determine whether the software actually works for the business. Because the real challenge isn’t building software. It’s building the right one.

Most software projects start with clarity. There’s a problem that needs solving. Maybe operations feel messy. Maybe data isn’t reliable. Maybe teams are relying too much on manual work.

So the idea is simple: “Let’s build a system that fixes this.” And in the beginning, that idea feels solid. Features are listed. Requirements are discussed. Workflows are mapped. Everything seems aligned.
