269: Ultra-Precise Death Ray (Repeat)

Embedded.fm · 2 Jul 2021 · 1h 05m · Episode 269

What this episode covers

Alan Cohen, a systems engineer at Massachusetts General Hospital and author of 'Prototype to Product: A Practical Guide for Getting to Market', discusses the 'eleven deadly sins' of product development. He emphasizes that detailed planning and requirements gathering are essential for managing risk and avoiding costly surprises, arguing that the cost of changes increases exponentially over time. Cohen advocates for an 'iterative waterfall' approach that balances agile iteration with structured gates, and highlights the importance of building strong, motivated teams to execute these plans effectively.

    IDology #11 - Most common mistakes in product development

    Rafał Piłat, co-founder of the industrial design studio Mindsailors, discusses common mistakes companies make during product development, emphasizing that 'hardware is hard' and requires realistic planning. He highlights errors such as skipping market research, over-engineering the first version (the 'curse of 2.0'), and underestimating the time and budget needed for prototyping and certification. Piłat also warns against assuming visual concepts are production-ready and stresses the importance of having a single decision-maker to avoid communication breakdowns.

    Project Management for Product Development of Medical Devices

    Devon Campbell, founder of Prodct, and Christie Johnson, founder of Kasota Engineering, discuss project management strategies for medical device development, arguing against rigid waterfall methodologies and complex Gantt charts. They advocate for a cyclical, agile-inspired approach that trusts engineering teams, uses coarse-grained high-level planning, and prioritizes early prototyping and testing to manage risk. The conversation highlights the importance of clear communication, information flow (via Design Structure Matrix), and integrating contract manufacturing partners early in the process to avoid bottlenecks and ensure successful product delivery.

    Ryan Schoonmaker, founder of Tight Line Solutions and former Director of Mechanical Engineering at Beta Bionics, Dexcom, and BD, explains how to bring structure to chaotic product development. He emphasizes that successful execution requires clear requirements, robust assembly specifications, and early decisions on critical elements like component colors to avoid regulatory delays. Schoonmaker draws on his experience with the Dexcom G6 and G7 to illustrate how narrowing down system failures and managing technical debt differently at startups versus large enterprises leads to predictable outcomes.

    Interview with Eric Ries - Transorted Testing Tachydidaxy

    Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup, discusses applying lean manufacturing principles to product development, emphasizing rapid experimentation and the Minimum Viable Product (MVP). He explains how hardware companies can use mockups, soft tooling, and service contracts to iterate quickly and validate customer demand before committing to expensive hard tooling. Ries argues that internal risks and bureaucratic silos are the primary barriers to speed, not technical constraints, and that companies must pivot their management systems to handle uncertainty.
