Agile in the DoD: Tenth Principle (Podcast Series)

Abstract

Often, when we say, What is the simplest way to do something? We actually stop having to do a lot of the work that goes along with implementing the complex way. So, the simplicity is not just about looking at getting value, it is also about reducing complexity. We are very good as engineers in figuring out lots of convoluted ways to make things work. So, this is really saying, dont go there if you dont need to. I go back to the old Einstein quote, Make everything as simple as possible; but no simpler. That is what you are trying to achieve here: figure out what is the simplest possible way of implementing something.
