“The basic concept of bounded applicability…simply states that any method or tool has limits. You know you are reaching those limits as the cost/benefit ratio of handling new issues becomes adverse. At this point you should not carry on doing the established approach more furiously, but instead realise that you are approaching a boundary and gain perspective so you can look on the other side.” — elearnspace
When we hear anything about making inmprovements to processes, technology, people, or tools - test if those suggestions have been placed in a bounded applicability.
