OSE Design Sprint

OSE Design Sprints Introduction Video

See our Design Sprints Dashboard for progress on the 6 in 60 Campaign. To learn Sketchup, click on the blue text above the first window on the Dashboard.

We are also creating collaborative video editing infrastructure similar to OSEdit to go with the OSE Design Sprints. Sign up at the Tech Team Culturing Survey for remote video editing - make sure to mark Video Editor in skill section.

Ideal Design Sprint

A design sprint should have these contributors outside of the Sprint Master. We are testing a method where we script in 8 one hour sessions on a design sprint day where each hour is dedicated to a specific machine or a related set of modules.

Participants for every Sprint Instance on Mechanical Devices:

1. [1] Sprint Master - Directs people to the necessary tasks. 1 Sprint Master needed. If there is more than one, this Sprint Master should set up their own Sprint Session. Sprint Master prepares a 1 paragraph-1 page Brief to
2. [6]Module-Based Design Breakdown (SEBD -Systems Engineering Breakdown Diagram)- breaking down every machine into the smallest components possible. Participants scour the internet for industry standards, and also consult the OSE wiki for content. See CEB Press at Dozuki for the brick press broken down into small components. 6 people could easily work on a large Google Drawing in realtime to fill in each component. Subject matter experts and heavy users of machine can do this.
3. [1] Graphics artist creates graphical icons for each of the modules defined in the SEBD
4. [6] Interface Design - Once modules are specified, it should be made clear how they fit together. This could be a realtime Google Drawing of conceptual modules from the SEBD, emphasizing the interfaces between modules and providing qualitative and quantitative description of the interface. Screenshots of machine parts from CAD or online pictures could also be used to create an Interface Design.
5. [2] A graphics artist could make concise infographics to make concepts transparent. Concepts needed are (1) how the machine works, (2) different types of machines, (3) their relevance and statistics around the machine, and many other pieces of content that any skilled graphics artist can represent in a user-friendly way.
6. [6] Animator - takes existing Sketchup files and makes informative Functional Videos. This could be done for every machine or module.
7. [6] Archivist - scours Blog, Prototypes Built and Cost, and YouTube/Vimeo for presenting all prior work on a given project. Documents at Dozuki.
8. [6] Engineers - provide Calculations and CAE analysis for each module.
9. [2] Electronics - Arduino controllers for things like CEB Press Controller and drone/ computer vision tractors
10. [6] Machinists/ Tool and Die Makers - writing procedures of how to fabricate certain parts from scratch, including items such as hardened blades or sprockets.
11. [2] Hydraulic Power Experts - draw up formal Hydraulics Diagrams.
12. [2] Hydraulics Nonexperts - individuals who watch Hydraulics 101 and produce visual hydraulics assembly diagrams.
13. [2] Sketchup Novices - people who take near-final designs and create exploded parts diagrams with labels, and who create step-by-step procedures for building
14. [2] 2D CAD people - individuals who use LibreCAD to create DXF torch table cutting files for all parts to be cut via CNC plasma cutter or laser cutter
15. [6] 3D printing people - people who generate optimized g-code files for specific 3D printing platforms, document these, and print them for purposes of rapid prototyping. These components will be taken from the OSE Warehouse
16. [6] Laser cutting people - people who
17. [8] Technical writer/blogger - person who interviews all contributors throughout the Sprint Topic to write a blog post on the event.

pi Special Sprint - Video:

1. [1] Director - directs media production efforts
2. [1] Video Editor - takes existing footage and turns it into Instructional or Eye Candy Videos
3. [6] Script Writer - writes a scripts on the machine under development

Special Sprint - Sprint Improvement Sprint

1. [1] Graphics artist - creates badge icons for the wiki for each type of contribution
2. [1] Constant Quality Improvement professional - desi
3. [1] Uberblogger - a person who interviews the 8 Event Bloggers to write up a more general-audience blog post on each design sprint.
