The article key takeaways are

  • There are several practices inspired by Complexity, to be employed every day in software and digital products development.
  • The landscape of such Complexity-inspired practices has three major regions: the teams, the work to do, and the whole organisation.
  • These practices provide a new means to gradually introduce our co-workers, our teams and our organisation to Complexity. They exemplify a new approach that consists of acting our way into the new Complexity thinking.
  • This new approach shifts up-side-down the centre of gravity of the conversation around Complexity, from the theory to the practice. It makes practice prominent. And it wants to engage hands-on practitioners, problem-solvers and tinkerers.
  • All these practices are based on social complexity and anthro-complexity. Therefore, they fully recognise the unique qualities of the human element, and that we are not algorithms, cellular automata, nor hives.
