Unveiling the Reality of Software Development: Challenges and Solutions

Every day, new software projects are born with the mission of solving old problems, but end up creating unprecedented challenges. This is the thrilling reality that few share about the backstage of software development.

Imagine someone with a great idea for a new project, but who completely overlooks the thousands of strategic software architecture decisions. Most of the time, the process moves forward as an improvised ‘MVP’ for production, and the final result is already predictable.

Delivering business value demands meticulous planning, understanding behaviors, impacts, and now, the technological value involved – something that is never foreseen, but always necessary. And expecting it to sprout out of nowhere, without sowing any seeds, is a real challenge.

With this tortuous journey, much time is wasted, there is endless rework, lack of quality, and above all, unproductiveness. Technology should be an enabler of innovation, not an obstacle.

For 20 years, I have been helping unlock software projects in companies of all sizes – including many that generate over 1 billion – and the problem repeats itself in all of them. All this experience has been incorporated into Devprime to accelerate the productivity of software developers and provide savings of around 70% in backend software development costs.
