Primes

• Branching and Merging
  • Design, R&D, and engineering: Divergent prototype or design variants are explored in parallel to hedge uncertainty, then integrated by recombining the best features of each into a converged design — set-based concurrent engineering deliberately delays the merge to keep options open while exploration is cheap.

    This sourceDescribes set-based concurrent engineering: divergent design variants are explored in parallel and the convergence (merge) to a single design is deliberately delayed to keep options open while the design space is cheap to explore.
