Welcome to The Manufictioners Club, a podcast that explores the business behind some of your favorite fictional technology. You’ve seen it all on screen, but how exactly would something like that get made? This season, we’re focusing on the Iron Man armor. Each episode, the crew breaks down a different element of the product development process and gets way off into the weeds with whatever sorts of tomfoolery they can come up with.

No matter how airtight your planning phase goes, there’s nothing that can prepare you for the trials and tribulations of that tricky development process. This goes double for our rapidly-decaying hero, who’s being held against his will in a dank cave. How will this affect the dev process? What about the shrapnel barreling towards Tony’s heart? Our crack team of hosts sit down today to examine the three dimensions of project control–Time, Scope, and Resources– and hypothesize how to keep the project on track in time to save Tony’s life.
