Among other things, it means that a team can spend an amazing amount of time building a complex system that will handle all possible eventualities - or it can do only what is needed right now, get it right, and get it out the door.

The KISS principle is related - keep the program simple, it will be easier to write, easier to maintain, and out the door faster.
