Every good product starts with what you discover.

DynamiteAgile is a design team's workshop: one Space per product, where you prospect the need, clear away the knowledge, extract the golden requirements, prove them with tests and cut the diamonds of the functional analysis. From the customer's need to the launched product, MVP after MVP, on your own server.

The need, before the mine

Why this tool exists: what a young engineer lives on day one, what the industry expects.

The first project

An idea, a team of four, one semester. Notes in a notebook, needs in an email, the plan in a spreadsheet, tests nowhere. Nobody knows what has been decided.

What the industry expects

Every requirement tied to a customer need and proven by a test, risks analysed (DFMEA), design reviews, hours justified for funding: that is the job.

What is missing

Big-company tools are expensive and take months; free tools are scattered. Student teams and start-ups learn rigour too late, often the hard way.

One Space, one product

DynamiteAgile brings everything into one Space per product, from need to launch, MVP0 to MVPx. An AI assistant prepares the whole Space; the team learns the method by applying it.

One mine, one product

Designing a product is like working a deposit. Each tool is named after what it does, in the order of the project: go down one level at a time, deeper and deeper, down to the diamonds.

0 m

DEMO & Training

The test tunnel at the mine entrance: every tool is tried there before going down.

The DEMO Space: the guided tour, a complete example (the Rover), a sandbox and the team's training.

60 m

Exploration

Prospecting: you study the ground and decide where to dig, in which order.

The product plan: PDP phases (Discovery, Concept, Design, Validation), MVPs, milestones, Gantt.

140 m

Dynamite

The charge that blasts the rock: raw knowledge is blasted loose and cleared.

The product's wiki: notes, minutes, decisions, procedures, pages drafted with AI.

230 m

Goldmine

The gold vein: what you came for, sorted nugget by nugget.

The customer needs and requirements, traced to the test that proves them.

330 m

Tools & Generator

The toolbox and the batch punch: every wagon gets its number.

The design methods (ideation, Pugh, Kepner-Tregoe) and the name of every deliverable.

450 m

Agile

The drilling crews, in shifts: each one knows which face to work.

Backlog, sprints and Board from one MVP to the next; Change Management when the tunnel drifts.

580 m

Testing

Assaying the ore: the grade is measured before the vein is declared worth it.

The product's Test Base, its procedures and plans that prove each requirement.

720 m

Timesheet

The shift log: who worked which face, for how many hours.

The hours per PDP step, vacation, funding claims.

1000 m

Diamond

The diamonds, 1,000 m down: the hardest stone, cut facet by facet.

The functional analysis: function tree, structure, parts, risks and DFMEA, with their owners.

You have reached the bottom: the diamonds. A product whose every function, risk and test is known, and a team that knows why.

… and the Dashboard brings you back to the surface: everything waiting for you in your product's Space.

A day in the notebook

Follow Léa, an electrical engineering student, and her team (Nina, Hugo, Alexis) as they design a hot glue gun. The screen on the right shows what she sees.
