Good point about reducing complexity not only being misguided, but principally limited due to the inherent complexity of product work - linked to what some are calling the "physics of flow".
I like the notion of "bounded bubbles of complexity" to avoid or at least limit the impact of local complexity on other teams. Goldratt's book "Rules…

I like the notion of "bounded bubbles of complexity" to avoid or at least limit the impact of local complexity on other teams. Goldratt's book "Rules of Flow" points out some other aspects like controlling work in process (avoid overload), reducing multitasking (avoid waste), providing full-kits (avoid start-stop) etc.
