In programming, you also go from point A (requirements analysis phase) to point B (shipping the product). The only difference is that you may face multiple paths leading to point B.

I feel like I shouldn’t need to point out how literally going from point A to point B is wildly different than going from a requirement to a shipped product.

Or how your example “a shipped product” is not a well defined goal.

Please don’t just play semantics.
