XM Explainer Video Script

Abstract: The Extreme Manufacturing (XM) Project Page is OSE's main organizing platform for developing Global Village Construction Set tools. There is going to be a total of 50 such pages. Several related Project Pages will be Grouped by topic, such as Tractor Group with Microtractor, Tractor, and Bulldozer. Each Group will have a dedicated Scrum Master - or Project Manager - who manages the whole development team, secures resources, and ensures that all work is documented on the Project Page. A Product Owner - or an individual with a clear vision of the desired end-state for a product - will be dedicated to assist the Scrum Master - one Product Owner per several groups.

The XM Project Page platform is used to display and index relevant project information. We start with a Project Overview - a Systems Engineering Breakdown Diagram which breaks a technology down into all components - and a Team Map. Window 4 shows a daily video log of progress + and the Status Window shows a daily Status Brief and a Log of tasks accomplished. The most important window in this interface is the Control Panel - which contains a Master List of Steps suggested for rigorous development towards world-class results. There is a total of _____ steps for each product - from basics such as design, CAD, prototyping, and testing - to many supporting steps such as design review, safety, and failure mode analysis. The Control Panel also includes the Definition of Ready - or the prerequisites for starting a step - the Definition of Done which defines the standards for completion. The Control Panel also links to the Work Product - or documentation of whatever results are obtained - plus an Assessment and Acceptance - which is done by the Product Owner. whcihand the A dedicated Scrum Master It consists of 7 ain windows The Control Panel (Window 6) in this platform displays all the steps4 of the development process in the Control Panel window, and provides an index of links to all results generated. The intent is

The magic of this method lies in synergistic, lively, distributed, parallel development - occurring both at Factor e Farm and supported by global collaboration. This platform will combine parallel remote prototyping, Desisgn and CAD Flash Mobs, feedback from advisers, constant vlogging of results, Daily Standups, Product Demos. The most remarkable feature of Scrum is that ALL STEPS MAY HAPPEN AT THE SAME TIME AND MAY OCCUR IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER. The key to this is modular design - where as long as the interface between components is clearly defined - all components may be developed simultaneously. Moreover, if the effort involves breakdown into very small steps, then any single step is likely to be sufficiently low-cost that performing that step becorrect comes feasible - and contemporaneous development means that feedback from other steps or review has a chance to correct any misdirected steps. On the Scrum Floor - or the FeF workshop - people are aware of each others' work, they can pair up to learn, and they can swarm on a problem if needed. The role of the Scrum Master is to unblock blocks - and to follow up on results constantly and make sure that these results are documented - while the Product Owner keeps the entire group on track by providing strategy, clear direction, and by approving Budgets. The Scrum Master follows the Product Owner's direction, and the Product Owner reports to the Stakeholder. The Stakeholder - or initiator of the Projects - recruits both the Scrum Master and Product Owner, and then the Scrum Master recruits the team for executing all the steps.
