Determine exactly who will use this (e.g., end-users, admins, or internal systems).

Frame the requirement in plain language: "As a [persona], I want to [action] so that [benefit]". 2. Design and Technical Discovery

Build a quick proof of concept (POC) to test technical feasibility without worrying about clean code yet.

Before writing code, create a blueprint. Medium suggests "inverse systems thinking," where you deconstruct a feature into its parts, behaviors, and the information exchanged between them.
