New Solutions Create New System Constraints

Category: System Integrity

Principle Intent

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

This principle is part of the Entrowise Principles Library and is used in the PPA Method to diagnose recurring delivery problems and develop principle-aligned actions. 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.
