==Critical Issues==
The critical milestone for effective leadership of the project is clarifying the requirements of a basic hardware development methodology, as well as producing the supporting documentation for this this method. Presently, we are considering a lean technique with the key point of using simple, widely-available development tools for hardware - wikis, Google Docs, and Sketchup. The next major milestone include:
*Refining the [[Flashy XM]] platform based on recent [[CAD, Remote Collaboration, Replication, and Collaborative Production Learnings]] - in the form of a seminal white paper on a distributed, scalable, open source product development platform.
*Detailing a budget required to execute on each product, with implications for budgets required for scalability

=Operations Manager Requirements=
'''''Abstract:''''' The Operations Manager is responsible for keeping track of, maintaining smooth flow of, unblocking development processes across prototyping, production, agriculture, and construction areas.

*Performance management and human relations experience
*Ability to make accurate assessments on strategic priorities and their execution
*Effective organizational skills to manage and follow a large number of moving parts
*Ability to [[Work Openly]]

==Operations Manager Duties==
*Process Management - Assures that prototyping, agriculture, production, construction, and organizational development staff and volunteers can carry out their duties effectively. This involves following the [[Flashy XM]] procedure and fulfilling its components. Documentation is a special subset of this, and is listed as a separate item below.
*Production Run Management - Assists ED in sourcing, assembling documentation, and preparing for Collaborative Production Runs.
*Process Development - Assists ED in developing and testing Open Source Product Development Process
*Publishing - assures that documentation requrements are met on the [[OSE Wiki]] and via [[Booktype]]
*Human Resources - Recruits and onboards new candidates, and prepares candidates for final approval by ED.
*Purchasing and Financial Controls - Carries out purchasing and executes financial control standards
*Organization - executes organizational structuring tasks
