Simplicity

We can be tempted to create complex models, processes, and solutions as Product Managers, but this is antithetical to the what it means to do Agile.

As the Agile Manifesto points out – “Simplicity–the art of maximizing the amount of work not done–is essential.”

Steve Jobs shared a similar idea when he said, “Innovation is not about saying yes to everything. It’s about saying NO to all but the most crucial features.”

As a product leader in your organization, what complex process, system, solution, or feature do you need to say NO to today?
