More FAQs in How to Plan Features Before Coding a Backend
Write a product vision, list all features, group them into modules, prioritize (Must Have, Should Have, Nice to Have), define APIs for each feature, sketch the data model, write user stories, and sequence by dependencies.
Planning prevents rework, exposes missing pieces, and clarifies dependencies. A few hours of planning can save days of rewriting.
Tag each feature as Must Have, Should Have, or Nice to Have. The MVP includes only Must Have features. Everything else comes after.
