The “Why” question uncovers the real business need, not just the stated requirement.
For example:
Customer says: “We need a button here.”
Architect asks: “Why is that needed? What outcome are users trying to achieve?”
This approach:
Prevents unnecessary customization
Identifies better out-of-the-box solutions
Helps architects add business value instead of just delivering features
First read the answer fully, then try to explain it in your own words. After that, open a few related questions and compare the concepts. This method helps you remember the topic for a longer time and improves exam preparation.
