One Size Fits All Design
One Size Fits All Design is a software development approach where a single solution is created to meet the needs of all users, without customization or adaptation for different contexts. It prioritizes simplicity and broad applicability over tailoring to specific user requirements or environments. This methodology is often used in early-stage products or for basic, universal features where differentiation is not critical.
Developers should consider this approach when building minimum viable products (MVPs), prototyping, or creating simple tools with a homogeneous user base to reduce complexity and development time. It is suitable for internal tools, basic utilities, or when resources are limited and the goal is to quickly test a concept. However, it should be avoided for complex applications, diverse user groups, or when personalization and accessibility are important.
