Perfection feels safe since every rule covered, every edge case mapped, every approval captured. But "perfect" workflows often slow teams down: too many steps, too many clicks, too many what‑ifs.
Simplicity ships. Focus the happy path, add guardrails for risk, and leave room for judgment. Fewer steps → faster cycle time → better adoption → cleaner data.
How to choose
·   Keep steps that protect safety, money, or compliance.
·   If a step exists to "make sure people do their job," remove it and train instead.
·    If a rule triggers <5% of the time, make it an exception-not the default path.
·   Review every field: must‑have or nice‑to‑have?
·   Measure lead time, touches, and rework cut what doesn't move a metric.
Summary: Start simple, then add only what risk demands. Your users will thank you later, and your KPIs will show it.

Thats my business opinion, I'd like to see yours.
