Rebooting Agility
summary
Argues that many software problems sit in different Cynefin domains so apply the right tools: use analysis, experts and upfront plan for complicated problems but use short PDCA/experiments and emergence for complex ones. Claims mainstream agile practices often target the complicated quadrant (better than waterfall) and don’t solve true complex issues. Recommends checking if a problem is repeatable (experts can fix it) or unknown (probe quickly), and trying SenseMaker for mapping genuinely complex situations.
