When my idea was rejected, I was faced with a dilemma. And I suggested that we expand our class offerings to additional weekday evenings. The class, though popular, had design problems.įor example, it was impractical to coach over 70 people at the same time. As time progressed, the founder of the fitness program asked me to assist him in instructing the workouts. While living in Australia I joined an exercise cross-training class to maintain my fitness. It also shows that KISS can apply to many domains in our lives – not just building technical products. How this class came about and my role in developing it into a small side business underscores my love of coaching and building. In the summer of 2014, I started a bootcamp exercise class called “Fun Social Exercise”.
I want to use examples from my time as a builder and entrepreneur to share my perspectives with you.īy sharing these lessons, I hope that you can best leverage the KISS principle in your work. There are few commercial, intellectual, or technical reasons to make things complicated when simplicity can help you design, launch, scale, and learn faster.
I have also seen how complex standards have been refined so that the design is left simpler and stronger as a result. Having built and launched products, I have witnessed firsthand when good ideas are made irrelevant because of product complexity and the ensuing product debt that follows. When building a product, designing a website, creating an app, or engineering a block of code, strive for simplicity. The KISS principle (or Keep It Simple, Stupid) states that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made overly complicated.
