When responding to this question, you should emphasize the importance of careful planning as well as the steps you take to complete it. Make sure to include the feasibility study, determination of the software development language to be used, the components of the product, and the available resources. You may want to talk about delegating individual development responsibilities to the appropriate software development team member.

"I go through a lengthy planning process before initiating any software development project. This begins with a feasibility study to determine if the product we are targeting can be developed and will meet the needs of the internal or external customer. My team and I then determine the resources required, the programming language we will use, and which team member will be designated to develop each specific part of the code. We also identify the quality control and tracking process to be used. My experience tells me that doing this may take time, but it always results in a better managed and more efficient software development process."
