Critical Path

Introduction

This Critical Path is based on the OSE Roadmap. See ad-hoc tasks at OSE Scrumy. Updated roadmaps are found at Roadmap Log. These are static screenshots of the roadmaps below. The roadmaps below are updated based on new results. Thus, for a study of OSE execution and capacity - one can study the historical roadmap (static screenshots) with the current one below. If the historical roadmap is significantly different from the current one, with the current one showing later dates - that would indicate that deadlines are being delayed.

Distributive 3D Printer Critical Path - 1/2 Year

edit

2015

Analysis: 5 of 10 machine milestones were reached through the Workshop model, which provided revenue sufficient to cover materials in the Aquaponics case, and 1/4-1/2 of material costs in the machine builds. Leadership seminars did not bring forth development leadership for CNC Torch table, tractor, or backhoe.

2014

edit

Analysis: We had 24 students over the entire summer for the Summer of Extreme Design/Build. The Summer School of 2014 turned out to be difficult to manage in terms of the number of projects that could be accomplished meaningfully at the same time. The main projects were the CEB press, Open Source Car, MicroHouse 3, and pool. It turns out that only one major project can be managed well with one instructor when a team of students is involved. The main learnings are that without open source product research and development experience, without a stable development pathway/protocol for carrying out such development, and without a micro-detailed Rollout Plan - only so much could be done before students start disengaging from OSE's critical path.

The main single outcome, if one could be named, was getting to about 90% completion on the CEB Press Build Instructions - which are now extremely detailed, and need to be taken to completion.

The main organizational learning is that effective management can happen with more focused development than a summer school, which has informed OSE's direction of focusing on a dedicated Residency Program for Distributive Enterprise, and working with Master's Students or other dedicated development pathways. The shift is towards the final level of Enterprise Development based on products that are nearly complete - in order to shift to financial sustainability of the R&D program, as opposed to pre-enterprise R&D.

Early 2014- 3D Printer Workshop

edit

Analysis: 3D printer. Workshop occurred successfully in terms of attendance (12 people, others had to be turned away). Little documentation of process was left behind, and a discontinued kit was used (Kit TAZ). This branch of development died.
