How to apply the “what, how, why” for software development

3 steps to achieve great quality software

The “What, How, Why” framework is a powerful tool for software development by promoting clear communication and critical thinking throughout the process.

By incorporating “What, How, Why” throughout the software development lifecycle, we can build better software, improve communication, and achieve successful project outcomes.

Applying the Framework Throughout Development:

• Use “What, How, Why” during project planning, requirement gathering, design discussions, code reviews, and testing phases.
• It helps identify potential issues early on, fosters clear communication between developers, stakeholders, and clients.

Here’s how we can apply it:
