What does it take to build great software? Is software development as a human activity, merely complicated or is it genuinely complex? This may sound like an odd question, but the answer is important because depending on that answer how we should approach it if changes dramatically. The Cynefin Framework created by Dave Snowden gives us a model to understand complexity and its relationship to the systems that we inhabit and create.
