Interview Patterns for iOS Development

A systematic approach to gathering requirements before implementing features, reviewing code, or performing analysis. Using the AskUserQuestion tool ensures you understand the user's needs before taking action.

Why Interview First?

Problems with Skipping Requirements Gathering

1. Wasted effort - Building the wrong thing
2. Assumptions - Guessing at requirements leads to rework
3. Missing context - Not understanding constraints or priorities
4. User frustration - Having to correct mid-implementation

Benefits of Interview-First Approach

1. Clarity - Both you and the user agree on the goal
2. Efficiency - Build the right thing the first time
3. Trust - User feels heard and involved
4. Better outcomes - Tailored solutions vs. generic ones
