00:00:07,899 --> 00:00:09,160
Good morning, everyone!

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:14,800
This is the first day of what I hope will be a new chapter in the building of the Marble Machine X:

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,520
I am going to learn how to work organized.

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:18,180
[laughter]

6
00:00:18,180 --> 00:00:21,860
As a little symbolism of how things used to be

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,100
this is my work bench that I wake up to.

8
00:00:25,100 --> 00:00:28,460
Not really super easy to do a lot of work here.

9
00:00:28,460 --> 00:00:34,620
Yesterday we launched a discord server and started the video submissions and that feels amazing.

10
00:00:34,740 --> 00:00:38,800
So cheers to a new chapter of the Marble Machine X building project.

11
00:00:38,805 --> 00:00:41,620
Let's get some serious organized work done.

12
00:00:43,060 --> 00:00:45,520
Priorities... so an example from Elon Musk.

13
00:00:45,580 --> 00:00:49,140
His to-do list looked like this: 
build a house, go to Mars,

14
00:00:49,140 --> 00:00:51,800
transition to EV, digital brain interface, etc.

15
00:00:51,940 --> 00:00:54,240
I asked myself what would Elon Musk do?

16
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,220
He stated in an interview that he would go OCD on the house design

17
00:00:58,220 --> 00:01:03,480
and decided to not build a house 
and put "go to Mars" as a priority.

18
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,700
Let's look at my old priorities.

19
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,160
I think I've been very obsessed with youtube growth over the years.

20
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,180
Maybe because of my impostor syndrome,

21
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,700
seeing growth has validated me in front of myself.

22
00:01:15,940 --> 00:01:19,920
Making relevant content has maybe been on the backfoot even

23
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:26,360
and these two are very often contradictory because the flawed human psychology.

24
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:31,860
And then I made a lot of music demos and I thought a lot about MMX aesthetics.

25
00:01:31,860 --> 00:01:34,780
Then come functionality and the audio engineering

26
00:01:34,780 --> 00:01:39,380
and totally forgotten is the MMX project management.

27
00:01:39,380 --> 00:01:45,680
I'm gonna switch this list upside down and I'm going to shoulder the project manager role.

28
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:51,240
This is a role that I wished I could have delegated but I think this project is so special,

29
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,820
it's time for me to take this responsibility.

30
00:01:53,940 --> 00:01:58,037
The functionality is going to take all my focus from now on,

31
00:01:58,037 --> 00:02:01,520
aesthetics will be on the back foot and for youtube

32
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,840
I'm gonna make relevant content like the content you are watching right now.

33
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,700
This is relevant, but it might not lead to a lot of youtube growth.

34
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,360
First task for the PM is to delegate

35
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,440
and I have so many over-competent people who wants to help me with this project.

36
00:02:20,740 --> 00:02:24,320
During the spring, this part has been ignored. 
I've been focused on building

37
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:31,380
so instead of me doing one task 
I can use my time to create maybe 10 tasks

38
00:02:31,380 --> 00:02:35,300
and there we have a 10x multiplier in efficiency already.

39
00:02:35,310 --> 00:02:40,229
So what I need to do is that I need to map out the state of the Marble Machine X completely,

40
00:02:40,229 --> 00:02:43,940
I need to write a long list, a searchable list,

41
00:02:44,100 --> 00:02:46,620
that shows me all the tasks that we have to do

42
00:02:46,624 --> 00:02:52,949
and I need to format in a way so the list will tell me what I can delegate and what I should delegate.

43
00:02:52,949 --> 00:02:58,580
I was like this, you know, like a little larvae here. Pretty happy going around.

44
00:02:58,580 --> 00:03:03,540
And now: PM butterfly!

45
00:03:03,540 --> 00:03:07,620
It has his mouth down here for some reason.
[laughing]

46
00:03:07,780 --> 00:03:11,980
Enjoy that because that's the only entertainment we're gonna get in these videos from now on.

[♪ unreleased/The Maker Larvae ♪]

48
00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:19,200
The tale of the maker larvae who wanted to become a project manager.

49
00:03:19,380 --> 00:03:26,120
Chapter one: The maker larvae had just realized the importance of delegation

50
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:31,160
and not only how important and powerful it could be to delegate a task to someone else

51
00:03:31,380 --> 00:03:36,040
but also the importance of how to delegate properly.

52
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:41,900
The maker larvae was bursting with excitement and ran out of the house to try to delegate something

53
00:03:41,900 --> 00:03:43,980
and he didn't know where to start.

54
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:48,200
He was overwhelmed and realized that he needed a plan.

55
00:03:48,580 --> 00:03:52,214
Chapter two: 
Project management master plan.

56
00:03:52,220 --> 00:03:55,360
[music stops abruptly]
This is my project management master plan.

57
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,420
Number one: fully take on the role as project manager.

58
00:03:59,420 --> 00:04:01,980
Number two: define the goal posts for the MMX.

59
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:07,860
So it's important that I define the goal posts so I don't keep on moving them when we reached a goal.

60
00:04:07,980 --> 00:04:10,900
Martin and the Marble Machine X 
can play an entire song

61
00:04:10,900 --> 00:04:14,360
and record it live in one take without mishaps, repeatedly.

62
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:20,319
Step three: perform a full scan of the MMX situation, 
map out issues and tasks.

63
00:04:20,319 --> 00:04:25,260
These lists will help me delegate tasks to collaborators,

64
00:04:25,260 --> 00:04:30,480
so I'm gonna ask the team members to become sub-assembly project managers

65
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:36,240
and be responsible for pushing a part or pushing a design project or pushing themselves,

66
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,463
so I'm not bottle-necking up the process.

67
00:04:39,463 --> 00:04:45,420
If I'm delegating hundred tasks and 
I get hundred questions back on each task

68
00:04:45,420 --> 00:04:50,840
then everything bottle-necks up at my table again, 
which is normally what happened,

69
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:53,540
because I didn't do the project management properly.

70
00:04:53,540 --> 00:04:58,480
The maker larvae now felt very pleased with having a project management master plan,

71
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,580
but still felt that he needed counseling about how to implement it.

72
00:05:02,580 --> 00:05:08,260
So he journeyed to the distant land of discord. A land full of angle grinder emojis.

73
00:05:08,260 --> 00:05:11,340
He met a new friend called Andy.

74
00:05:11,340 --> 00:05:15,180
Andy was a Six Sigma master black belt engineer

75
00:05:15,180 --> 00:05:20,400
and the maker larvae had no clue what that meant, but it sounded very impressive.

76
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:26,140
So the maker larvae followed Andy into the nearest voice chat to ask his new counselor for advice.

77
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,620
What I wanted to ask you right now...

78
00:05:28,620 --> 00:05:33,840
Instead of posting a chat post saying 
"Hey, I have this idea" loosely,

79
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:39,060
I want to have one person from the team who takes on the role as sub-assembly PM

80
00:05:39,060 --> 00:05:41,640
for that part and I want to say to that person,

81
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:46,420
"I want these parts... to France 
and we need four of them"

82
00:05:46,420 --> 00:05:48,780
"and you can use the team as resources."

83
00:05:48,780 --> 00:05:51,740
"Reach out to the other members for whatever competence you need."

84
00:05:51,740 --> 00:05:56,880
Is that a good idea, to be clear in the delegation that people have an agency of their own

85
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,700
and they don't have to come back to me, because I'm becoming a bottleneck very quick.

86
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,680
Andy: - I'm going to say a "conditional yes", because I have a question.

87
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,470
Do you feel comfortable doing this?

88
00:06:09,470 --> 00:06:13,960
Martin: - Yes, I... Yes, I would love to do this and it...

89
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,980
Andy: - It means it may result that you may lose a bit of control over what's happening,

90
00:06:18,980 --> 00:06:21,140
and it may be a bit, you know...

91
00:06:21,700 --> 00:06:27,600
discomforting feeling that it's not in the end your, you know, son or creation,

92
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,920
but lots of other people added their part

93
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,400
and if you feel comfortable,
absolutely green light, go with it.

94
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,880
Martin: - The machine is already 99% what it is...

95
00:06:38,140 --> 00:06:43,600
so I need to let go of 
that last little percentage of control

96
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,600
to be able to move this project forward.

97
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,040
Andy: - Then that is very important, then you need to very openly and

98
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,159
clearly communicate to these, let's call them sub-assembly owners.

99
00:06:53,410 --> 00:06:59,189
What are their roles and in what case you want to have an interaction with them? For example:

100
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,980
Do you want to delegate the engineering decisions?

101
00:07:02,980 --> 00:07:07,940
Probably yes, because as you said the decision is already there, the solution is already there

102
00:07:07,940 --> 00:07:11,540
so they should not buzz you every time there's a question.

103
00:07:11,540 --> 00:07:18,240
They are free to solve that and that would help a lot in... in both ways and things like that.

104
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,500
So these kind of roles and responsibilities discussion needs to be

105
00:07:22,570 --> 00:07:26,460
done with every single person you are going to delegate to,

106
00:07:26,460 --> 00:07:28,770
the sub-assemblies, and then they will feel free

107
00:07:28,770 --> 00:07:31,020
you know, to move an act and make

108
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,320
even complex decisions without buzzing you every day.

109
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,600
Martin: - I've been having my fingers in everything.

110
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,599
This is a big shift in culture, in the project.

111
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,300
I actually created this situation completely myself,

112
00:07:43,300 --> 00:07:46,200
because when things were going bad with the Marble Machine

113
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,840
I was so happy to be disturbed by something else,

114
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,760
I was happy to be presented with a smaller problem.

115
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,080
"Should we go M3 or M4 on this bolt?"

116
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:59,140
I love to get those questions because that took me out of my misery, so to speak.

117
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:00,680
[both laughing]

118
00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:03,440
Andy: - I fully understand you, I fully understand.

119
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,840
You know, you started with the first version. 
You were there alone, probably,

120
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,660
and then it was really like the child of your imagination

121
00:08:11,660 --> 00:08:19,740
and now this child is becoming a bit like a monstrosity but it's still under your control and your supervision.

122
00:08:19,740 --> 00:08:22,920
And as you said it's 99% still, you know,

123
00:08:23,700 --> 00:08:26,920
your imagination and your ideas and your thoughts,

124
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,720
but some people just simply could help you to make it a final product.

125
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,820
Otherwise it will never be done.

Chapter 3:

134
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,160
Populating the issues list.
[music stops]

135
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,800
Today I'm gonna start with the issues list,

136
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,960
that I got help to format in the phone call with Andrew,

137
00:09:04,020 --> 00:09:08,520
which means that I'm going to go 
to the Marble Machine X physically

138
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,800
and I'm going to look at every single little spot like this.

139
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,900
And I'm gonna write down all my issues, 
except my personal ones.

140
00:09:16,900 --> 00:09:22,140
To get some kind of structure I will start from the bottom and work my way to the top.

141
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,228
For example: 
The electric motor is not mounted

142
00:09:25,228 --> 00:09:29,100
and we need a user interface and we need a better power supply.

143
00:09:29,100 --> 00:09:33,213
I can list 200 issues from my mind with the electric motor,

144
00:09:33,220 --> 00:09:39,880
but to keep this kind of workable at the moment, 
I will just say "electric motor is not mounted".

145
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,620
If Alex accepts being sub-project manager for the motor project,

146
00:09:43,620 --> 00:09:49,260
it will be on his task list to find out all these 200 issues within that project.

147
00:09:49,260 --> 00:09:51,780
Because otherwise this will explode for me

148
00:09:51,940 --> 00:09:56,420
into the unmanageable task 
that is the Marble Machine X at the moment.

149
00:09:56,420 --> 00:09:58,640
I'm so overwhelmed, but I'm actually

150
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:03,320
less overwhelmed... right now than before.

151
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:04,940
[epic music]
The maker larvae looked out

152
00:10:04,940 --> 00:10:09,540
over the desolate desert that is commonly known as the issues list.

153
00:10:09,660 --> 00:10:14,500
This was a vast desert full with issues of the Marble Machine X.

154
00:10:14,620 --> 00:10:21,460
The maker larvae assigned an issues number, 
a name and a description of what was wrong,

155
00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:24,120
a severity score, a root cause,

156
00:10:24,140 --> 00:10:28,040
an occurrence frequency score 
and a monitoring score

157
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,960
and from that he could multiply the three scores and get a risk priority number.

158
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:38,600
If this risk priority number was above 125, this issue needs to be taken care of.

159
00:10:38,610 --> 00:10:41,413
The maker lavae has put a link in the description

160
00:10:41,420 --> 00:10:45,160
to this issues list, if you want to read it closer.
[laughing]

161
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,800
It took the maker larvae 91 issues before he reached to the most important one.

00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:18,060
I'm already ecstatic about the function of this issue list because I realized:

170
00:11:18,060 --> 00:11:19,920
One issue we have, a big issue,

171
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,520
is that the CAD model of Marble Machine X isn't exact like the real model.

172
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,740
I posted an idea in the Wintergatan discord server idea-vault, about

173
00:11:28,220 --> 00:11:30,840
maybe we can create the whole MMX CAD-model

174
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,340
together in the large Wintergatan community?

175
00:11:34,740 --> 00:11:39,410
The CAD model of the MMX would be not only usable for us in this project,

176
00:11:39,410 --> 00:11:43,260
we would open-source it for all the makers out there to have fun with.

177
00:11:43,260 --> 00:11:45,640
You can create VR experience and stuff like that.

178
00:11:45,650 --> 00:11:50,809
It's a huge work to transform this into a CAD model and we got little stuck at the end,

179
00:11:50,809 --> 00:11:56,160
so if you want to help us with that, check out the idea vault on discord

180
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:01,540
That's a project that I can delegate. We need a project manager for that project.

Yet again, the maker larvae was journeying the distant land of discord,

187
00:12:24,300 --> 00:12:26,560
where he met the thousand armed octopus.

188
00:12:26,820 --> 00:12:29,440
The thousand armed octopus looked back at the maker larvae

189
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:34,060
and said "I can help you, but I need to know what to do".

190

The maker larvae went to work.

195
00:12:52,900 --> 00:12:55,220
Populating the task list was kind of easy,

196
00:12:55,820 --> 00:13:00,280
writing the project charts though, turned out to be a massive task.

197
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:05,280
It's important for the octopus that the quality of the project charters are high.

198
00:13:05,340 --> 00:13:07,500
The maker larva wrestled for days

199
00:13:07,500 --> 00:13:10,860
with target specifications, defect definitions,

200
00:13:10,860 --> 00:13:13,840

201
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,740
and communication guidelines.

202
00:13:15,740 --> 00:13:23,500
The maker larvae then started to feed the octopus by sending out the project charters to the MMX engineers

203
00:13:23,780 --> 00:13:27,399
And it was exactly at this moment it happened.

204
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,135
The maker larvae came out of his shell

205
00:13:31,135 --> 00:13:37,420
and out came a beautiful 
project manager butterfly!

206
00:13:38,140 --> 00:13:41,240
The plan had worked out perfectly.

207
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,300
Starting with the project management master plan,

208
00:13:44,300 --> 00:13:47,580
that led to the issues list, that led to the task list,

209
00:13:47,580 --> 00:13:49,600
that led to the project charters,

210
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,580
that led to feeding the octopus,

211
00:13:52,580 --> 00:13:57,980
that led to the multiplier in efficiency of the Marble Machine X project.

212
00:13:57,980 --> 00:14:04,280
And as far as I know, the butterfly project manager is still writing project charters,

213
00:14:04,420 --> 00:14:09,040
as he has another hundred and four project charters to write.

I started out playing a miniature drum set a long time ago
