First Solve The Problem, Then Write The Code ~ John Johnson
Software is the fuel to the future and arguably one of the most crucial aspects to ensure the survival of business and provide businesses with a competitive edge, keeping ahead of the game. Many critics have argued that coding is only one aspect related to innovative software and that it is imperative if not more important to first solve the problem and then write the code. Having a deep understanding of the problem and developing a solution that helps curb the problem is crucial should any developer produce world class software.
Strategic planning, problem solving and execution is imperative to a business due to the fact that it systematically provides a sense of direction and outlines measurable goals and a defined product. It is useful for guiding the day to day decisions of any organisation and provides a foundation that will allow developers to work off.
At SovTech, not only do we build out world class software solutions, but prior to any development, all clients are welcomed by our Client Managers and undergo a detailed consultation in which a client is taken on a journey facilitated by our experienced Solution Architects. Our Solution Architects obtain a detailed summary of the project before mapping out the project in more detail. So what does this entail ?
Once the problem is understood and the application is made clear, our team will then look to solve the problem in conjunction with our senior engineers and product strategists by mapping out all applications and or portals along with the functionality of each portal, this ranges from registration, profile management, home screen and even notifications. Once the problem has been solved, our Solution Architects will then proceed to facilitate a catch up session with the client in order to present the solution in more detail as well as help the client understand what the major features of the application are. This engaging session will allow the client to obtain a more tangible view and understanding of the solution before any coding takes place.
As John Johnson has mentioned it is imperative to first solve the problem and then write, it can be argued that the first few steps of the planning process are deemed as the most important aspects in any coding development in order to solidify a foundation for the development of a quality software that circumvents any problems that the business faces.
