Curt Hall takes a look at the role 3D printing can have in space exploration. From Earth-based manufacturing of spacecraft parts to tools like wrenches on the International Space Station and metal parts during a Mars mission, space could be 3D printing’s killer app. Hall discusses a large number of technologies in development, including the ability to convert plastic waste from previously printed parts into feedstock that can be used to create new tools and parts. Similarly, there are projects underway to see if the Moon’s regolith can be used to construct the (literal) building blocks for a moon base. Printing food, medicine, and even replacement organs for long-haul space missions is also being explored using bioprinting, a technology that could come full circle to provide tissue-based patches for the outside of damaged hearts here on Earth.

The success rates of adopting agile methods on a large scale have been disappointing. We have made good progress at the project level, but from portfolio to enterprise, success has been elusive.

OO METHODOLOGY ISSUES: WHAT ARE THEY AND DO THEY MATTER? by Katherine Whitehe

The Agile Manifesto and its obvious extensions don’t address issues needed at the organizational level. In their article, Jutta Eckstein and John Buck augment Agile with Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, and Sociocracy, something they call “BOSSA nova,” and link those with strategy, structure, and process to cover key organizational issues.

Bob Galen picks up on this issue's evolution theme and goes back to basics. When pursuing Agile, which comes first: the chicken or the egg? Clearly not making breakfast, Galen takes aim at whether teams or leadership “goes Agile” first. He gives us a taste for what it must look like to have teams come first and what seasonings to pepper leadership with so that leadership and teams can be “Agile-y” effective together.
