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
