The goal is to minimize the number of steps required to achieve an objective. Every stage of a workflow must have a clear reason for existing and be directly linked to value co-creation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often, when designing a process within the Value Chain, managers try to account for every possible exception. The official ITIL 5 Foundation material warns: attempting to provide a solution for every exception will invariably lead to over-complication.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, organizations should design general rules that cover most cases and rely on autonomy and guiding principles to handle outliers. In high-complexity situations, rigid constraints fail; what works are flexible guidelines supported by empowered people.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoiding_the_%E2%80%9CBuild_Trap%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><b>Avoiding the &#8220;Build Trap&#8221;<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A vital concept introduced in this version is the caution against falling into what the framework calls the <\/span><b>&#8220;Build Trap.&#8221;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This occurs when product teams focus excessively on building more and more features, believing that &#8220;more is better.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The result, however, is often a bloated digital product that is difficult to maintain and confusing for the user.
