Iteration Generator

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 - Develop list of Impacting Elements - People (Aspirers, Beneficiaries, Decision Makers,Contributors), Communities, Realities, Problem/Unmet Needs
• 2b - Research & Learn more about Impacting Elements
• 2c - Determine critical interrelationships between Impacting Elements
• 2d - Determine which Impacting Elements will likely be barriers to achieving the mission
• 2e - Iterate Impacting Elements by repeating steps 1-2 as many times as necessary

Step 3 - Strategy and Solution

• 3a - Develop guiding Strategies, to achieve the mission and to address the Impacting Elements that could become barriers to success
• 3b - Develop the Solution to achieve the Mission and address the Impacting Elements
• 3c - Develop Performance Measures to be able to measure progress toward achieving the mission
• 3d - Learn & Validate - Solution and Strategy
  • Update Impacting Elements based on what is learned
  • Reach out to the People (Aspirers, Beneficiaries, Decision Makers,Contributors), Communities to validate the solution and strategy
  • Iterate Solution & Strategy by repeating steps 1-3 as many times as necessary

Step 4 - Design

• 4a - Design Communication, Operational, Funding, and Personal Needs components
• 4b - Develop detailed design of the Solution to be created
• 4d - Develop design elements list within each component that includes the people and resources that will be involved in making it happen
• 4e - Determine approach for Decision Makers and Contributors
• 4f - Revisit the Impacting Elements to ensure it includes what was discovered in the design
• 4g - Learn & Validate - Solution Design and Enablement Design
  • Reach out to the People (Aspirers,Beneficiaries, Decision Makers,Contributors), Communities to validate the design and plan to address impacting and design elements
  • Update Impacting Elements, Strategy and Solution Design based on what is learned
  • Iterate Design by repeating steps 1-4 as many times as necessary
• 4h - Develop a plan and list of activities to address each design element
  • Create a detailed project plan

Step 5 - Create & Implement

• 5a - Create the Solution & Enablement Designs
• 5b - Implement the plan
• 5c - Learn & Test - Test Design & Plan
  • Test the Solution & Enablement Design to get the feedback from the Aspirers,Beneficiaries, Decision Makers,Contributors
  • Update Impacting Elements, Strategy, Solution Design & Enablement Design based on what is learned
  • Revise the Plan based on the update
  • Repeat steps 1-5 as many times as necessary
