description

The Cynefin ( /ˈkʌnɨvɪn/) framework is used to describe problems, situations and systems. It provides a typology of contexts that guides what sort of explanations and/or solutions may apply. Cynefin is a Welsh word, which is commonly translated into English as 'habitat' or 'place', although this fails to convey its full meaning. A more complete translation of the word would be that it conveys the sense that we all have multiple pasts of which we can only be partly aware: cultural, religious, geographic, tribal etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynefin

Simple

‣ The solution is trivial and there’s a best practice

‣ The approach is Sense - Categorise - Respond

‣Waterfall model is working fine for these tasksImage source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ferran-jorda/4620738491

Complicated

‣ The solution needs analysis,typically there is a good practice, or a design pattern

‣ The approach is Sense - Analyze - Respond

‣Agile models for solving these tasks is a good idea Image source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sifarat/3340533349

Chaotic

‣No relationship between cause and effect - we even don’t know the problem, so hard to find a solution

‣ The approach is Act - Sense - Respond

‣Solving a system failure is something like thisImage source: http://wallpapers.free-review.net/12__Chaos_art_wallpaper.htm
