My writings on complexity.
How we deal with complexity is very important. This is a collection of LinkedIn posts I've written on the topic.
This cycle shows my opinion. It's consistent with the work of Russ Ackoff, Tom Gilb, Eli Goldratt, Don Reinertsen, and many others. Kant remarks that "experience without theory is blind." Deming suggests "experience without theory is expensive."
It has been stated that Scrum is based on complex adaptive systems and that seeing cause and effect is not possible. This limits one to "inspect and adapt."
This picture contrasts the two in terms of PDSA and "inspect and adapt."
In a nutshell must understand what is complex and what isn't. While discovering what a product needs to be may be complex, the means to get there doesn't have to be. And, while we might not know for certain how we'll get there, we can know for certain that there is a path to discover it by taking advantage of what we know.
