N2 - Simulation is increasingly applied to capture highly complex systems and tackle ever more complex problems. We present a novel framework that aids modellers in undertaking long, highly complex simulation studies. Our framework provides a structured method guiding how a study will develop, aiding modellers to conceptualise a suitable model and plan how it will be coded. The approach incorporates the principle of minimum viable product development, a process directed toward satisfying the minimum requirements of the client as quickly as possible by deconstructing them into defined steps. The framework has wide applications, but, its modularity is particularly well suited to complex hybrid simulation projects which integrate multiple techniques into a single model. Our framework ensures value is generated for the stakeholders early in a project. It facilitates agile development involving stakeholders closely in the inevitably long project life-cycle, responding to their feedback as the project progresses to maximise value.
