NASA Engineering wrapped in Agile Organisation.
Big Promise, but it’s not a promise it’s a system.
The last major thing I did in my previous company before I sold it was to implement a system. A system where by engineers could build the things we needed and organise themselves without me, as a manager being involved. I don’t mean a system like a new software platform, I mean a system as a set of simple protocalls that everyone understands and users to efficiently achieve a common goal.
The XYZ System is the result of many years on my journey through many companies piecing together what works, weeding out what doesn’t and finding the basics system of doing that largely satifys the prato principle or 80/20. Compiling all into a sytem that anyone can use for pretty much anything.
So this is the first post about the XYZ System.
At the time of writing there is no other system that shows up in a search other than the X,Y,Z Mathematical coordinate system. So that’s where the name comes from. The company name is [HTC How To Company XYZ Limited] I intentionally added XYZ to the name so uniquely naming things would be easier.
To Sumarise XYZ System “NASA Engineering wrapped in Agile Organisation.”
The building or engineering part of the system is the B.R.P.F system which NASA used in it’s JPL (Jet propulsion labatory) to build the Mars rover, simple but effective. and the Organisation part uses Agile termanology, i’m no Agile evangilist or purist but using the terms from Agile like Stories and Epics is the basis of the organisation. No need to reinvent the wheel. XYZ is just a simple combination of the principals of these systems that’ve found to work.
Why use XYZ system?
If you have a system, any system, it’s what makes things good. Having a good system is what makes things great. So if your system is good then keep using it, if it’s not or your don’t have one then maybe this one will fit.
