Complexity in the Cynefin Model • It is characterized by the relationship between cause and effect • How predictable is the outcome of an action? • Consequently, our goal is to comprehend and evaluate the complexity of architecture. Complexity, as Geoffrey West aptly puts it, “You know it when you see it”.

I think the difference is best described in the Cynefin framework : The complicated domain consists of the “known unknowns”. Complicated - hard to separate, analyze, or solve [link] Complex is also made up of inter-related things, but for complex things there’s an element of things that we cannot know, unpredictable things.

As I look back at the event, I see a lot of evidence supporting complexity science, particularly the Cynefin framework, created by David Snowden, which many agilist are familiar with. Agilists working in highly complex product spaces might do well to add the Cynefin framework and other complexity science disciplines to their practice.

But, in complex domains ( Cynefin ) characterised by low predictability and high uncertainty, we need to ‘nudge’ the system by running multiple safe to fail experiments. None of these are suited to changing culture in a complex space.

With complicated and complex, I’m using specific terminology from the Cynefin model. Cynefin (pronounced kuh-NEV-in) is a well-regarded system management framework that categorizes different types of systems in terms of how understandable they are.

And in the language of Cynefin - you cannot use best practices on complex problems. Would you track their progress on days spent? Would you have them work separately so that we get more things typed - or together to try to solve problems? By definition, there are no best practices in a domain where novel and innovation is needed.

It’s a phrase, I believe, I got from Dave Snowden of the Cynefin model for thinking about systems. Don: Coherence. Marcus: … coherence. So looking backwards, it seems coherent. It makes sense. Don: It makes sense. Are they obvious? Is the system obvious? Is it an ordered system, an unordered system and so on and so forth?
