Don't Overplan, Do Prototype

Overplanning in software projects often leads to overcomplication and wasted resources. The best approach to discover unknowns and avoid overengineering is to prototype early and focus on building a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). Identify core features and iterate, learning by doing rather than theorizing. For most CRUD systems, extensive planning may not be as beneficial as hands-on prototyping and real-world testing.
