Diversified Development

-  Instead of running projects, the trend in the industry is to use the Diversified
   Development, developing the product, process or production process are done
   one change at the time.  (seen in SPACEX and in Tesla)
-  If the evaluation is done efficiently you can start producing after one loop, of
  course depending on your product and your production.
-  This way to work everyday where no project leader is appointed, is a very
    efficient and fast way of working.

Product Owner
Working with Diversified Development you most of the time have a Product Owner (PO)
  -  The Product Owner has the responsibility to maintain and revise the Product
       backlog.
  -  The product backlog can be seen as a wish list/an order to the organisation.

   -  The function with the highest profitability is highest on the list indicating what
       development will start with that function.
    -  The PO needs to be a people’s person, someone being good at handling
        many types of persons everything from the developer, customers to the
        finance persons.
    -  Their responsibility is somewhere between Finance and Solution
        management.
    -  The profitability calculation takes into account:
              -  Profit that the new product will bring
              -  Cost to develop the new product
              -  Available resources to develop the new product
              -  Competitor analyses
    -  POs interest is when and what something is done - not How
    -  The PO has total responsibility for the product, its development, its life cycle
       and its value creating.
    -  To be able to take this responsibility the PO needs to have mandate to take
        all the decisions regarding the product.
     -  Has the money to invest in the product development of new functions,
        production facilities, equipment or something else  needed for the product.
     -  Meaning that the developer comes to the Product Owner and asks for
        money when needed.
      -  This means that money is not spent and tied up for the whole project but for
         different specific tasks when needed. 

Interfaces
      -  Defining interfaces allows you to run development in different parts,
         functions or organisations in parallel.
      -  Different groups or persons run different developments autonomously and
         in parallel (make sure that the fully crossfunctional knowledge is used).

Team meetings
      -  Often standup meetings or short sitting meetings covering:
                -  What worked well this week
                -  What didn’t work well
                -  The coworker tells what he or she will work with next week (look at
                    the product backlog)
                 -  Are there any obstacles or do you need help with something

Diversified Development
  -  Improvements of prioritised requirements, functionalities or parts changing
     one thing at the time but more things in parallel
  -  Change initatives are performed all the time and in parallel (everyday work)
  -  The product delivered to customer changes continuously and is improved all
      the time.
  -  Advantages
        -  Speed
        -  Capital is not tied up longer then necessary
         -  Less overhead
         -  Coworker are trusted and feel empowered
  -  Challenges
          -  Evaluate with high speed and accuracy (digital)
          -  Increased responsibility for coworkers (engagement)
          -  Rapid resource allocation (on demand and need of immediate allocation)
          -  How shall quality be worked into the Diversified development and how
             do you take care of experience from earlier performed development
