Extreme Manufacturing Notes

See Extreme Manufacturing and Scrum

• If design is separated from build, cost increases - with reference to Open Capitalist Platform. How to incorporate rapid delivery into Open Capitalist Platform.
• Assure integration via Contract-First Manufacturing (CFM)
  • Example of excellent interface - [little bits - http://littlebits.cc/]
• Process: Breakdown -> CFM -> Test-Driven Manufacturing (TDM)
  • TDM=Before any prototyping occurs, a test is defined to measure success of that prototyping
• MMF - Minimum Marketable Feature. Minimum definition required for beginning of development.
• Definition of Ready - definition of MMF. Ex. Replication of Wikispeed Car
• Definition of Done - Definition of project 'end' (constant evolution happens, so there is never an 'end' in open source development. Ex: 100mpg equivalent 2 passenger pelletized biomass-fueled Wikispeed car

Meta

• Process can be adabpted to all parts of development process for the Open Source Economy:
  • Organizational infrastructure
  • Advisory Board development
  • Strategic Development
  • Development of one of 50 technologies
  • Factor e Farm development
    • Land Stewardship
    • Production
    • Post-scarcity village development
  • Global Collaboration Development
  • Resource Development
  • Recruiting
  • Lean Platform Development
• Before project starts - stake holder defines MMF and recruits Scrum Master. For scalability, an Organization is set up to facilitate a generalized XM platform - an organization for open hardware as Wikimedia Foundation is to open knowledge.
