The Development Steps assume that there is a framework of a Scrum Master and a Product Owner who run the development process. The assumption is further that there is an organization - OSE - providing funding for this development. Further, the organization is responsible for recruiting Advisers and Subject Matter Experts who can enhance the velocity greatly.

The Scrum Master is key in accelerating the process:

• Scrum Master works both locally (Factor e Farm) and Globally (remote collaboration and swarming)
• World can view and join at any time. By assuring that ALL the steps are documented, anyone in the world can begin contributing.
  • Buzz is generated when updates are constant.
• Task done on backlog qualifies a person to join a team.
• Person joining team qualifies to vlog and log tasks in completion log
• Flash Mobs are engaged for swarming on problems
• Advanced techniques such as 3D scans are generated to produce rapid CAD design
• CAD and Design can be done rapidly via remote swarms
• Prototyping work can be done rapidly at Factor e Farm with 12 Fabricators + 12 Assistants
• Remote fabrication can happen at TechShop or Home Machine Shop
• Rapid Fabrication and Design can be leveraged
  • Requires CAD swarm and design swarm - first focuses on documentation, other focuses on design - 1 hour per week.
• Rapid Prototyping/Testing can be leveraged
  • CAE swarming, 3D print swarming (For rapid prototypes), High School fab shops, Makerspaces
