Planning ahead is very important when building software. It helps to ensure that the project is well-defined, all necessary tasks are accounted for, resources are efficiently utilized, and potential issues are identified and addressed before they become bigger problems. Proper planning can also help to ensure that the project stays on schedule and within budget, while also meeting the needs and expectations of stakeholders.
