# Wardley Maps and Cynefin https://swardley.medium.com/wardley-maps-and-cynefin-d0c7a2b960e8 > Whilst each system is **complicated** (having many components operating in a defined and known manner), the “right” solution is still emerging. This means the problem space itself is **complex**. Within that one pipeline you can have multiple **complicated** solutions to a **complex** space which is still emerging. In the article "Wardley Maps and Cynefin" by Simon Wardley, the author discusses the complementary nature of Wardley Maps and the [[Cynefin]] framework. Wardley emphasizes that these tools should not be combined into a single holistic view but rather used together to explore problem spaces from different perspectives. He uses a simple map example to illustrate key concepts such as chains of relationships, logical ANDs and ORs, perspectives, and the independent evolution of components within a pipeline. Wardley explains that while [[Wardley Map|Wardley Maps]] represent different stages of evolution, [[Cynefin]] terms like "complex" and "complicated" cannot be directly mapped onto these stages. Instead, both frameworks should be used in tandem to provide diverse viewpoints. He advises against merging these frameworks into one and highlights the importance of maintaining their distinct perspectives. The article also mentions Tudor Girba, who works on making systems explainable, and Dave Snowden, an expert on the Cynefin framework. Wardley concludes by suggesting further resources for those interested in learning more about mapping and Cynefin.
