Every solution introduces new dependencies, trade-offs, and constraints. Leaders must anticipate second-order effects—what new problems will this solution create?
How to Apply This Principle

When this principle is violated, delivery teams often experience recurring symptoms that resist solution because the root cause—the violated principle—is never addressed directly.
