Nope. Just checked it myself. All works fine.

The main goal of the unFIX model is to make it easier for people to design their own ways of working. We believe this is hard as long as all the good patterns are spread out across different methods and frameworks. It is difficult to do a bit of Scrum, a bit of Team Topologies, a bit of ShapeUp, a bit of the Spotify Model, and so on. The visuals and terminology are all different across those various models. By offering a shared language of reusable patterns, we hope it becomes easier for people to create context-specific methods so that they don't have to start by "implementing" and then adapting off-the-shelf scaling frameworks.

It is not our job to create simple models. That's your job. We only offer the pieces (patterns) for modeling, but the modeling should be done by people in the organization. We cannot do that for them. Like LEGO offers 4,000 different types of LEGO blocks, but *you* are the one who should use (some of) those blocks to make something unique in your context. That's not LEGO's job; that's your job. And you're not supposed to use all 4,000 types. You only use what you need. Of course, like LEGO, we can inspire people with some (simple) examples of the things you could be building. That's what case studies are for. #unfix
