Having a plan for a software project is super important because it helps everyone know what needs to get done and when. It’s like a map that shows where we’re going and how we’re going to get there. This plan helps us use our time and resources wisely and makes sure we’re all on the same page about what needs to happen. By following the plan, we can keep track of how things are going and make sure we finish the project on time and do a great job.
