Executive Summary
Simplicity is not merely the absence of unnecessary complexity: It is an active defense against the accretion of complexity in IT systems and especially in application development. How so? Simplicity can be deployed as a decision-making tool. An understanding of its underlying principles allows organizations to use simplicity as a powerful filter in the selection of proposed new development tools, platform technologies, and development processes prior to adoption. By evaluating whether a proposed innovation adheres to the tenets of the simplicity approach, IT organizations can anticipate the risks and potential costs of adoption and prevent unnecessary complexity from gaining a foothold.
