6Ws: Looking Back – Reflection and Learning

What You’ve Built

If you’ve followed the process laid out in this series, you now have:

  • A well-defined set of user actors and business outcomes

  • A detailed breakdown of system behaviour

  • A technically grounded architecture built around real-world goals

  • A secure, scalable, and cost-conscious deployment plan

  • A realistic and transparent roadmap

That’s not just a design. That’s a delivery-ready plan.


What Comes Next

The 6Ws aren’t a one-time workshop, they are a reusable framework. Use them:

  • When scoping a new feature

  • During technical discovery for a greenfield project

  • When troubleshooting architecture misalignment

  • In retrospectives and design reviews

Over time, they become second nature: the quiet logic in your planning docs, your architecture diagrams, your sprint plans, and stakeholder decks.


Final Thought

Designing software is more than writing code or choosing cloud services. It’s about connecting purpose to people, decisions to value, and work to outcomes. The 6Ws give you a way to do exactly that.

Not rigid. Not heavyweight. Just clear, adaptable thinking that scales with your ambition.

Now you have the tools. What will you build with them?
