  3. The Waterfall Fallacy – Precision Planning

  4. What’s Wrong With This Picture? • Not flexible – can’t change task priority or schedule • Can’t iterate – no cyclical development (no agile) • Not scalable – hard to add or remove tasks & people • Intolerant of change – new scope = new project • What else do you struggle with? • Soooo….. Why use broken tools and broken methods?

  5. New Tools For New Thinking

  6. “Factories are havens of erratic behavior, places where everything is going wrong all the time. Abandon the illusion that you can predict these technological headaches, or that you can avert them with forward planning.” "You don't have a prayer in hell of ever understanding factories. You really don't have control. By striving to get control, you only make it worse." Dick Morley Richard Morley is known as the "father" of the programmable logic controller since he was involved with the production of the first PLC for General Motors, the Modicon, at Bedford and Associates in 1968. Wikipedia FAST COMPANY The Man From CHAOS By William Green, October 31, 1995

  7. CHAOS Paint Booths "It ran beautifully, it saved $1 million a year in paint alone." Morley's system changed the game: it enabled the paint booths to "bid" for the right to paint certain trucks. If a particular booth had been painting black trucks all day, it would bid to paint any subsequent trucks that were to be painted black. "The booth is empowered to decide what it does."

  10. Expanded to include offshore and freelance help

  11. Workers can bid on any task: Experience factor affects their total bid value

  12. Tasks have ‘Reward Points’ exchangeable for rewards in the Reward Bank QA assures task meets requirements before reward is assigned
