In the management of complex technologies and systems, reliability is crucial. This is where the Lusser's Product Law comes into play. This law tells us that the reliability of a system composed of multiple components in series is equal to the product of the individual reliabilities of each component. Using technologies that have not reached TRL9(Technology Readiness Level 9) can introduce less reliable components into the system, thus reducing the overall reliability. In other words, the total reliability of a system is equal or lower than that of the least reliable component.

This approach not only minimize failures by minimizing the likelihood of unexpected failures that could compromise the entire digital transformation project but also boosts the confidence of all stakeholders in the project, from engineers to end-users.

Opting for DIY (do-it-yourself) solutions can be tempting due to lower initial costs and apparent flexibility. However, this often results in less reliable and more failure-prone systems. In a digital transformation context, where the integration of multiple technologies and systems is the norm, the reliability of each component is essential for the overall success of the project.
