Incrementally produce the simplest that works

Waste is reduced and avoided with Scrum primarily through the pursuit of simplicity. The central idea is that in the product development process we produce little by little – that is, the simplest solution that works to solve the problems that the product proposes to solve.

The next part to implement is always a small and simple part of the product, but it will be usable and solves only the most important part of the next most important problem. To accomplish this, we implement just what is sufficient and necessary, both in terms of the structure and technical parts that support the product, as well as the features and behaviors of that product.

From simple to simple, we can build the complex. But only the sufficient and necessary.

With this phrase I aim to demonstrate how the incremental nature of working with Scrum helps reduce waste. A solution idea that is complex and expensive, however beautiful it may seem, always includes various features that will not be used and results in the utilization of more complex technical solutions than necessary. By building a product from simple increment to simple increment, we only create the complexity sufficient and necessary to solve the proposed problem.
