Basics of Design Structured Matrix DSM with Ricardo Vargas

Basics of Design Structured Matrix DSM with Ricardo Vargas
Learn how to work on complex task relationships including loops and clusters by using DSM, design structure matrix. DSM is a simple, compact and visual representation of a system or project in the form of a square where relationships are presented by dots on the cells.
It is an extremely helpful technique if you work with complex product development.
The video comes with a free download of an example of DSM, explaining how to create and how to turn a network diagram into a DSM matrix. You can download it at get.ricardo-vargas.com/basics...

Hi Ricardo PMP exam: Any best (close to imitating the exam) websites providing free mock tests / simulators (covering 2023, PMBOK 7)? Thanks.

[@greensal86]

Thank you Ricardo for explaining this concept. Are you aware of any software that help optimize the matrix automatically?

[@rvvargas]

There are some tools for that like dsmsuite.github.io/downloads and dsmweb.org/comercial-tools/

[@GABSIAN1838]

Hi Ricardo, thank you for the demonstration please for me as a Planning Engineer who can DSM helps me in planning field?

[@rvvargas]

you can use to plan complex engineering process where several tasks are coupled (mutual dependency). It is excellent for complex works.

[@wabilandangoh8437]

Interesting but I'm not being able to open the downloaded matrix as a password is requested 😢

[@wabilandangoh8437]
