Work continues apace on the IronicDemoDesignScratchpad.  It's banging into shape pretty nicely.  The goal is basically to have a document which describes the demo on a high level that is readable and understandable by River Trolls.  C'mon now, no faces like that...  I work with some river trolls, although they deny their heritage!

One of the things I'm working on some Agile Paragraphs for Matt so he can continue is design of the modular design system.  I'm also reading a bit about

While there are some really good things about these methodologies, developing things completely within a unit and waiting too long to do integrated testing seems like a potentially dangerous recipe.  We'll see...  I stil have a fair bit of reading before I make any final conclusions.

I'm also beginning to research workflows and potential quality management systems.  Hopefully this could really help our production, which has been difficult to keep at a high level.  Henri and I have already had a chat about possibilities for these systems, which includes workflows revolving around traditionally film based workflows like the concepts of developing storylines, storyboarding, storybeats, etc.  Revolving around management and process control research for me has been Lean Manufacturing, Just In Time Manufacturing and the Six Sigmas.  Detailing the exact approaches will have to wait until we have reseached things a bit more thoroughly and consulted our river troll.
