Occam’s Razor

Occam’s Razor
• Scientific Heuristic • Among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions
should be selected
• i.e. always go with the simplest option
Simpler theories are preferred, because they are easier to test!

Pareto Principle
45 percent of
delivered features
are never used.

Edge Cases
are the silent
killer of projects
