Agile management
Prize winning designs (Win 10M prize purse)

3. Response Situation Analysis for System: Team Wiki Speed
with [t,c,p,s] metric-priorities for each issue, t = time of response, c = cost of response, p = predictability of response, s = scope of response
Domain
Response Issue
Proactive
Reactive
Creation
(and Elimination)
What artifacts/data/knowledge must the system be creating or eliminating during its operational activity?
Process knowledge
Vehicle
Marketable subassemblies
Improvement
What performance characteristics will the system be expected to improve during operational life cycle?
Safety
Fuel economy
Performance (handling, top speed, acceleration)
Migration
What major events coming down the road will require a change in the system infrastructure?
Driveline/propulsion
Regulation
Modification
(Add/Sub Capability)
What modifications in resources-employed might need made as the system is used?
Autonomy/intelligent driving
Battery technology
Drive side
Correction
What can go wrong that will need an automatic systemic detection and response?
Safety
Software irregularities
Regulations
Variation
What system/process variables will range across what values and need accommodation?
Power and acceleration
Suspension and handling
Number of cupholders
Expansion
(and Contraction
of Capacity)
What are “quantity-based” elastic-capacity range needs on resources/output/activity/other?
Manufacturing constraints (producibility)
Market demands
Reconfigu-ration
What types of resource relationship configurations will need changed during operation?
Vehicle type/capacity (e.g. truck bed size, passenger count)?
Tooling
Human resource availability and capability

4. RRS Principles for System: Team Wikispeed Car
(Think: Plug-and-Play, Drag-and-drop)
Reconfigurable
Scalable
Reusable
Encapsulated Resources Resources are encapsulated independent units loosely coupled through the passive infrastructure.
Distributed design teams
Modular components
Evolving Infrastructure ConOps and resource interface and interaction standards that evolve slowly.
Volunteer labor
Incremental improvements
Facilitated Interfacing (Pluggable) Resources & infrastructure have features facilitating easy resource insertion/removal.
Virtual environment (global)
Highly skilled volunteers
Redundancy and Diversity Duplicate resources provide fail-soft & capacity options; diversity provides functional options.
Pairing and swarming
Global resources
Facilitated Reuse Resources are reusable and/or replicable; with supporting facilitation for finding and employing appropriate resources.
Modular design for each subcomponent
Elastic Capacity Resource populations & functional capacity may be increased and decreased widely within existing infrastructure.
Team members can come and go as they need to
Peer-Peer Interaction Resources communicate directly on a peer-to-peer relationship; parallel rather than sequential relationships are favored.
Bullpen working environment and global virtual connection
Distributed Control & Information Decisions made at point of maximum knowledge; information accessible globally but kept locally.
Teams managed own tasks
Global interconnectivity
Deferred Commitment Resource relationships are transient when possible; decisions & fixed bindings are postponed until necessary.
Design to test requirement and only change to meet that
Trial configuration
Self-Organization Resource relationships are self-determined; and resource interaction is self-adjusting or negotiated.
Weekly local scrum meetings
