Integrated Product, Organization and Process design

(Tentative) Agenda: Summer 2011

Submission-1:

Task: describe and analyze your project and organization design

Please submit a PowerPoint deck (group submission) that includes the following slides:

• Organization functional intent as represented in the POP function model
• Organization design as represented in the POP form and SimVision project baseline case model; include annotations to identify a few important relationships between the two and with the functional models
• Predicted organization behavior of your baseline and best cases as represented in the project Gantt chart, backlog chart and project work breakdown charts and the POP behavior model; annotation a few relationships among these reports. Please show SimVision predicted case comparison charts in all cases.
• Copy of your version of the Design-Build Biotech Project Design Worksheet (page 3 lab) that lists, for each case you created, the changes, rationale and summary of effects.
• ORID analysis on what you learned this week:
  • Objective: What do you see so far this week? What factual statements can you make based on the data?
  • Reflective: What surprised, encouraged or interested you? What concerned or discouraged you?
  • Interpretive: What sense to you make of what you did so far this week?
  • Decisional: What are our proposed next steps? What is your action plan for next steps?

Submission-2:

Task: describe, analyze and optimize your project and organization design; explain use of checklists for process reliability

Please submit a PowerPoint deck (group submission) that includes the following slides:

• Product functional intent and design: POP Product function and form models with a few important features and performance objectives; product sketch annotated to show a few important features; a few annotations to show relationships between sketch and POP model
• Organization functional intent and design: same kinds of elements as above
• Process functional intent and design: same kinds of elements as above
• Predicted organization and process behavior of baseline and best cases as represented in the SimVision project Gantt chart and project work breakdown chart and the POP behavior model; annotate a few relationships among these reports; use green/yellow/red traffic lights to indicate your evaluation of how well each predicted behavior conforms with functional process objectives.
• Checklist for process management reliability with annotation to explain support for related product, organization and process functional goals
• Copy of your version of the Project Design Worksheet (page 3 lab) that lists, for each case you created, the changes, rationale and summary of effects.
• One-slide summary of your business plan that includes statement of who has a problem, the problem, solution with certain features and benefits.

• Sketch or drawing of your product design that names some of the important features and annotates a few relationships with the POP model
• SimVision analysis of your proposed organization - process
• Checklist that you have designed to help assure process reliability
• ORID analysis on what you learned this week:
  • Objective: What do you see so far this week? What factual statements can you make based on the data?
  • Reflective: What surprised, encouraged or interested you? What concerned or discouraged you?
  • Interpretive: What sense to you make of what you did so far this week?
  • Decisional: What are our proposed next steps? What is your action plan for next steps?
