The Iteration Generator is a development framework to efficiently and effectively manage the numerous iterations required to make the eDream happen. The Mission may have minimal changes, the Strategy will likely have several changes, the Plan may have thousands of changes.

Step 1 - Mission

• Develop Mission
• Determine Timing
• Determine Commitment

Step 2 - Impacting Elements

• 2a - Identify list of Impacting Elements - People (Aspirers, Beneficiaries, Decision Makers,Contributors, Communities), Realities (Problem/Unmet Needs)
• 2b - Understand each of the Impacting People and Realities
• 2c - Determine how each of the Impacting Elements will be addressed to achieve the Mission
• 2d - Iterate Impacting Elements by repeating steps 1-2 as many times as necessary

Step 3 - Strategy

• 3a - Develop Objectives to achieve the mission by addressing the impacting elements and providing focus on the essential activities within the Enablement Process.
• 3b - Develop Solution to achieve the Mission, address the Impacting Elements, achieve the mission-level Objectives and address the Problem/Unmet Needs of the impacting People.
• 3c - Develop performance Measures to be able to measure the progress of the Objectives and Solution toward achieving the Mission
• 3d - Revist Impacting Elements to determine if there are new Impacting Elements based on the new Objectives, Solution or Measures developed
• 3e - Review the Impacting Elements to determine if dependencies, potential barriers and/or critical interrelationships need to be revised based on the new Objectives, Solution or Measures developed
• 3f - Learn & Validate - Strategy, Solution, and Impacting Elements
  • Reach out to the Impacting People (Aspirers, Beneficiaries, Decision Makers, Contributors, Communities) to validate the Strategy, Solution, and Impacting Elements.
  • Iterate Strategy, Solution, and Measures by repeating steps 1-3 as many times as necessary

Step 4 - Enablement Design

• 4a - Develop detailed design of the Solution to be created
• 4b - Design Communication, Operational, Funding, and Personal Needs components
• 4c - Revist Impacting Elements to determine if there are new Impacting Elements based on the design of the Communication, Operational, Funding, Personal Needs, and Solution components.
• 4d - Review the Impacting Elements to determine if dependencies, potential barriers and/or critical interrelationships need to be revised based on the Enablement Design
• 4e - Develop an engagement approach for each of the impacting people
• 4f - Learn & Validate - Enablement Design
  • Reach out to the impacting People (Aspirers, Beneficiaries, Decision Makers, Contributors), Communities) to validate the Enablement Design, Strategy and Impacting Elements
  • Update Impacting Elements, Strategy and [Enablement Design]] based on what is learned
  • Iterate Enablement Design by repeating steps 1-4 as many times as necessary

Step 5 - Iteration Creation

• 5a - Develop a list of Activities to engage the impacting People and create the Enablement Design
• 5b - Organize the Activities into a Plan designed to achieve Mission, the timing of the Mission and the mission-level Objectives
• 5c - Develop top-level design of the Plan that includes the total Financial investment, Major Milestones, People, and Timeline
• 5d - Develop details for each of the Activities that includes list of Tasks, People involved and roles, Duration (including start date, end date & level of effort), Resources required, Cost and Dependenciesthe total Financial investment, Major Milestones, People, and Timeline
  • Create a detailed project plan
  • Implement the project plan
  • Test the Solution & Enablement Design to get the feedback from the impacting People
  • Update Impacting Elements, Strategy, Solution & Enablement Design based on what is learned
  • Revise the Plan based on the update
  • Repeat steps 1-5 as many times as necessary

Complete or Continue Incremental Improvement Process
