Simplicity is the ultimate
sophistication
-
Leonardo
Da Vinci
Too much of everything? Too many features, choice, and steps? Too much information, too much to think about? Too much time and too many delays?
Realise benefits by seeking simplicity. Simplify! Mammoth solutions containing every feature under the sun are over-scoped, too complex, and usually indicate a lack of understanding of customers’ true wants and needs. Complexity throttles flow and kills value. Start thinking lean and build solutions from the customer in, eliminating complexity as you go. Do more of what matters by eliminating what doesn’t.
Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
