When “bigger platforms” are not the best fit

More features do not always mean better outcomes.

Large platforms promise coverage, but often introduce complexity, long adoption cycles, and unused features. Many teams benefit more from focused capability that fits real work.

Practical moves

  • Choose tools that fit a specific need—then connect only what matters.
  • Prioritize speed-to-value: adoption and usability beat feature count.
  • Avoid overengineering: remove steps that don’t change outcomes.
  • Measure impact with simple signals: time saved, fewer blind spots, faster response.
Key takeaway: The right-sized tool often outperforms the biggest platform.
