A Valis principle that prioritizes keeping Work Area and related simple enough for one person to fully understand and manage.
By respecting the Cognitive Limit, this principle aims to avoid Coordination Costs, eliminate communication overhead, and enable faster execution.
We respect the cognitive limit by:
- Carefully defining scopes for our work areas.
- Self-imposing constraints on our tooling:
- Standardizing on a single tool, even if a specialized solution might look better in isolation. See the document.
- Choosing not to use all features of a service. See the rule.
