Using the Design Structure Matrix to Manage Product Development Risk

The Design Structure Matrix (DSM) is a tool that maps information flow and its impact in product development processes.  DSM represents visually the network of interactions among development activities and facilitates analysis of the results of changing the sequence of these interactions.  The tool reveals trade-off options and implications between cost and schedule risk.  This report summarizes a talk by Dr. Tyson Browning, Assistant Professor of Enterprise Operations at the M.J. Neeley School of Business at Texas Christian University.  Tyson is a former Senior Project Manager in Integrated Company Operations at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company, where he served as the technical lead and chief integrator for a number of teams in developing the enterprise process architecture for the company.  In this talk Tyson presents DSM as an approach for managing development project cost, schedule and risk.  Click here for presentation slides (34 pages), and then download the summary below.
