Chapter 04 | Before the first line of code

Why does simplicity in software projects go far beyond writing code?

Because the foundation for simplicity is already created long before the first line of code is written.

How do we achieve this?
Through organizational decisions that reduce complexity instead of adding to it.

What does that mean in practice?

— Small teams
— Clear responsibilities
— Full ownership

Why can adding more roles sometimes slow projects down instead of improving them?

One of our Client Success Leads Birgit explains how Simplicity starts even before the first line of code.
