Collaborative Swarm Design

Collaborative design augmented to larger (swarm), real-time (as enabled by collaborative literacy), module-based design (scalable design process). Basic method:

• Use vProcess library to design optimal process for the working group. This attains a work breakdown structure for the overall process.
• Once breakdown is achieved, all is documented in a Google Presentation, realtime, with as many pages started as team members. A 240 person team would involve 240 slides. For speed optimization, document may contain hyperlinked subdocuments to allow for access to working design in multiple documents instead of one - in case a single doc is too large.
• For each item - each person develops.
• Integration comes from vProcess map - in which shared understanding is attained by Time-Binding upon existing, standard processes
• Key is that each vProcess step is detailed granularly, such that we can pull up Design Guides at the product, module, part, and material level.
• This effectively taps multiple areas of expertise in diverse areas of endeavor.
