Introduction

The Development Work Template is the substance of any physical product and physical production development. It should contain all the information necessary to build a product, while including economic analysis and replicability. In short, the development work should include concept, design, 3D drawings, process for review, fabrication procedure, test data, features of replicability, and so forth.

The template is extended, and it should contain all the information necessary for the above. The template should be applied judiciously - for example, 3D Drawings may be irrelevant to the propagation of apple trees.

The template should be exhaustive, and it should be filled in over time, such that meaningful enterprise proposal may arise from it.

The templete should provide most of the information for the collaborative development process that we are pursuing for the Global Village Construction Set. This is the basic process:

Development Work Template

Product Definition

General

A general description of what the product is, why it is needed, what it should do.

General Scope

The scope of what the product will and will not cover. (?)

Product Ecology

How the product relates to other aspects of living, and how other aspects of the local ecology affect the product.

Localization

How will the product affect the local economy, how will it be locally produced.

Scaleability

How can the product scale to larger or smaller enterprises.

Analysis of Scale

(?)

Lifecycle Analysis

An analysis of the life of the product, it's materials, and it's effects. For example, the CEB makes brick from the local soil, and the soil returns to the ground.

Enterprise Options

How the product can be used for enterprises.

Development Approach

Timeline

Development Budget

Value Spent
Value available
Value needed

Deliverables and Product Specifications

What the general specification of the product are.

Industry Standards

What other similar products do and how they do it.

Market and Market Segmentation

Who will be interested in the product in general, and what the different segments of people there are that will be interested.

Salient Features and Keys to Success

What key features the product needs to be successfuland what needs to happen for those to be made.
