Software strategies are structured approaches that guide how we design, build, and maintain software. They are important because they bring discipline, consistency, and quality into development, especially as projects grow in complexity. Strategies should be applied whenever teams need to ensure scalability, maintainability, or faster delivery. Mastery comes through continuous practice, learning, and applying principles in real projects. The benefits include cleaner code, fewer defects, faster releases, and stronger collaboration. Common strategies span across design (SOLID, DRY), process (Lean, Agile, DevOps), quality (TDD, Clean Code), architecture (modularity, scalability), and security (least privilege, secure by design).

In this session, we’ll explore the benefits and key processes of software strategies, learn a few core principles, and try and explore the decision making behind the alignment with your organization.
