Often, product teams curate feature roadmaps that fail to account for the interdependencies in product components.
This talk will use practical examples to how system architecture tools like Design (dependency) Structure matrix (DSM) can be used to evaluate feature roadmaps to avoid the purgatory of change propagation and accompanying endless iteration loops. These iteration loops are sometimes affordable (manageable) in software development, but for hardware teams - especially small product teams and startups - the lost time, and money is the stuff of which product graves are made.
*About the Speaker*
Emmanuel Odunlade is hardware design engineer,| systems engineer, solutions architect and product compliance and certification buff. When not working on products to better the world, they write technical articles to inspire and empower others to "MAKE" the world till it's better.
*About Teardown*
Teardown is a yearly event hosted by Crowd Supply that draws hackers, makers, and engineers from across the US (and the world) to meet together in Portland, Oregon. Teardown is about the practice of hardware: prototyping, manufacturing, testing, disassembling, and circumventing, all while having fun. Teardown attendees can expect lively talks, demos, art installations, hands-on workshops, fiendish puzzles, and lots of good food. Check it out! crowdsupply.com/teardown
