route of actual work and proximity to “area of demand” indicates how efficient the actual work is
I tend to ignore the note granular, complicated, step by step processes that professors outlines
This seems like the process could be quite different for first time, one off systems vs repeated builds
I guess I oscillate between thinking about building the product vs building the process that delivers the product at scale
in a previous EM.411 lecture, Ed Crawley mentioned that David Kelley (I think) from IDEO used to create such simple architectures that mapping from “need” to “architecture” could all be grasped cognitively
Agent-based modeling and system dynamics modeling are fundamentally different and incompatible ways of modeling
The difference between one-off vs iterative product development seems like it will determine how you want to hybridize between Product development process and Agile development
Feels like evaluation criteria for trade studies, attributes for tradespace and matrices are really the operative work. These different methods are essentially different ways of data visualization
Looking at a set of products and asking how many different architectures are there is a good way to determine if we have a shared idea of what falls under the scope of architecture
Connectivity / IoT might be a place where we’ve seen minimal incremental value, but might see transformational value
