There is a vast difference in the architecture of a software-intensive system whose output must always be accurate and precise versus one whose output can just be good enough.
The ability to break large eng projects into *independently valuable* incremental steps is the most important skill for senior engineers to develop.
Literally no one knows how to completely solve a large eng problem ahead of time.

Descale the work and organisation instead.
One of the best books on building an agile organisation is not what you'd expect.
