approach Designed to empower owner of tool to use, modify and improve Designed for transparent function Modularity Adaptability Design for Disassembly Design with replicatbility in mind Use of “off the shelf” or commonly available components, or components that are or can be repurposed ! http://farmhack.org/wiki/design-principles-farmhack
and wildcards - share your passions, knowledge and skills on a flip chart - 1 minute stand up ! Farmers Problems - Farmers share a problem - Network to form a team around a farmer with representation from each perspective
your farmer questions to find out more about the problems • Write each problem on a post it note • If you have more than one problem, vote with dots to arrive at one problem the team can work on • Write up the problem and what success will look like to the farmer if solved • 30 second stand up to share the ‘problem & success’ • Feedback from the room
along the user journey, map your ideas along the user journey using post it notes • Where are the pain points? • Check if a solution already exists in the Farm Hack catalogue http:// farmhack.org/tools - do you want to improve a concept or start from scratch? • How well does the idea work with the design principles? • Prepare for a 1-minute standup
to be solved or the product to be developed ! • Decides WHAT is needed to address the problem in terms of features & functionalities: What is critical, desirable or extra? ! Development team ! • Decide on HOW to best deliver the critical features & functionalities and if there is available time the desirable/extra ones? ! Support team ! • Support the product owner and development team by removing impediments and providing specific technical support
computer-controlled milling machine, for making much larger parts ! A vinyl cutter, to produce stencils, flexible circuits, and antennas ! Laser cutter – used to accurately cut flat materials such as plastics, wood, textiles. Easy to use
saws, screwdrivers, drills, chisels etc ! ! 3D printer – used to rapidly prototype products – uses ABS plastic to create working, moving solid plastic parts from 3D virtual designs ! !
machines Electronic components and tools, oscilloscopes, function generators A precision (micron resolution) milling machine to make three-dimensional moulds and surface- mount circuit boards Computer-controlled sewing and embroidery machines
to everyone in your team • Come up with a hypothesis (product + service = success) • Develop a pitch of 5 minutes max to explain your idea, solution and why this will be useful for the both farmer and customers • Draw up a list of resources
role of someone who loves the idea • Identify two or three particular characteristics of the offer that you feel work particularly well • NB avoid temptation to improve the offer ! The Builder • Build on the presented ideas • Offer “yes, and…” as opposed to “no, but…” • Make connections the presenter may have missed The Customer • Listen to the pitch in the role of the customer • The customer should be identified as part of the pitch • If the customer is not made clear, say so and react as whom you think the customer might be !
