In the last year of applying Cynefin theory to my practice I’v e made a few conclusions about things. One of these is that what Dave Snowdon calls “pattern entrainment” is probably our achilles heel as a species.
Uncertainty, uncertainty everywhere You know what's the most common error people make when trying to embrace DDD? They tend to focus on DDD's specific DSL (terminology, composition) - entities, boundaries, aggregate roots, etc.
The popular notion that Cynefin can be applied in the software development domain as a way of discussing the problems involved in writing software for money is missing the profession of Systems Engineering.
