The KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) rule is a helpful rule in the process of defining goals in a project. This principle is applicable in many activities whose overarching goal is high efficiency - starting from business, through design and design, and ending with everyday life.
The KISS principle is a design guideline that advises developers to keep the design of a system as simple as possible. The idea behind this principle is that simple systems are more likely to be successful, as they are easier to understand, use, and maintain. The KISS principle is often used in a variety of fields, including software development, engineering, and project management. It is often used as a reminder to avoid unnecessary complexity and to strive for simplicity in design. The principle is that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complicated; therefore simplicity should be a key goal in design and unnecessary complexity should be avoided.
