Complexity

 

Reducing the complexity for your users is very important if you want to increase the adoption rate of your product. Tesler’s law stipulates that you can’t reduce the complexity (of an application) once you’ve reached a certain level (for example you need some input for the program to work) (Saffer, 2007, pp. 54-55). Once you’ve reached this treshold, you are only able to shift the complexity (eg. from the user to the program by calculating the input).
