RSS feedDuring the design of software packages many decisions have to be taken that heavily influence the practical use of theapplication. In this page we summarize several such decisions and expose the underlying asumptions.
Flexibility against Control
The philosophy of ]project-open[ is based on a assumption of responsible users, who (normally) act in the best interest of their company. This assumption allows ]project-open[ to emphasise Flexibility, keeping the system easier to use while being suitable for a broader range of company types.
So ]project-open[ tries to provide users with maximum freedom of decisions to deal with the unorderly world of real business. As a counterweight, ]project-open[ protocols all user decisions and makes them transparent to the users supervisors.
The benefit of this philosophy is a more flexible system suitable
for small and medium companies and in knowledge intensive business
sectors.
