What is related to application development strategies?

An application development strategy is the overall plan that guides how a software product moves from concept to a working release; it brings together several distinct activities, each covering a different phase of that journey.

Brainstorming generates the initial ideas, features and user needs that shape the product vision. Technical planning addresses the architecture, tools and infrastructure needed to build the product. Writing the creative brief documents the project's goals, audience and scope so every stakeholder shares the same direction.

• Brainstorming alone only produces ideas — it does not decide the technical approach or fix the project's scope.

• Technical planning alone only addresses implementation — it assumes the ideas and scope are already settled.

• Writing the creative brief alone only fixes scope — it does not generate ideas or decide the technical approach.

Since idea generation, technical planning and scope definition are each a distinct, necessary part of application development strategy, the strategy is complete only when all three are combined.
