Why should you KISS?

I know what you're thinking 😒. No, I didn't mean that kiss. It's an abbreviated form of 'Keep it simple, Stupid,' you dirty minds 😉

Now, let's answer the question: Why should we 'Keep it simple, Stupid'? There is a concept that says if we complicate any process, it'll be very hard to follow 🥲

Instagram VS Youtube

Have you ever wondered why Instagram Reels are more famous than YouTube Shorts? C'mon, both have the same concept and the same feature 🤔

But why do users tend to love Reels more than YouTube Shorts? Because Reels are so much simpler than Shorts.

Let me explain: suppose you want to share a YouTube short with a friend. Can you do that? Nooooo 😫. I want to copy the URL, open another app, and share it with my friend. But in the case of Reels, we can do that in 2 taps. See how simple it is? Even if we want to post it on our story, we can do it in 2 taps 🤷🏻

This makes our work easy to share with our friends.

Just this simple application of KISS in Instagram has made them a huge profit. This not only applies to features, but it also can be applied to development and project management too. 🤓

Okay, what is it gonna affect!

When you're writing code, always try to keep it simple. The more complex the code, the more difficult it is for us to understand.🤯

When you're following a process for project management, always try to keep it super simple. Let's consider if we're following a huge process to release a feature (like more meetings, unnecessary reviews, and calls), we'll be focusing on following the process rather than the actual development. It'll lead to more errors than we think. 😏

Remember, the actual aim of project management is to deliver quality products on the right time. Complicating it can lead to a loss in product quality and waste of time. So, always keep everything as simple, even if it's your personal or professional decisions.❤️
