The high-level view of software development looks pretty straightforward. A team gets requirements, starts designing, writes code, tests features, and finally delivers the product.

Simple… right?

But when you look deeper into how software development actually happens inside teams, the reality starts feeling very different.

What seems smooth from the outside rarely feels that smooth while building the product in real life.

Tasks change. Priorities shift. Bugs suddenly appear in between. New ideas get added while development is already going on. And before anyone even realizes it, the team is managing multiple things at the same time.
