Rigid upfront planning often fails. Approaches like Agile and Kanban offer alternatives, prioritizing continuous feedback and adaptation over fixed, long-term estimates for better project outcomes. #AgileDev 4/6

Incremental development is key. Starting small, validating often, and scaling deliberately helps avoid common pitfalls. Counterarguments suggest 'big bang' can work, but the risks are exponentially higher without solid foundations. #AgileDev 2/6
