On the latest class assignment, the objective was to throw an egg into a garbge can, while standing on a table, with the hope that the egg wont crack. The only thing that we could've used for the egg was 8 straws and a piece of tape.
As far as difining our goal, i think my team realized that the built of the device for the egg will last only 10 minutes, so we planned in a very haste and quick manner. We also identified our resources and tried to plan in a way such that it will be used in an optimal way for the egg not to crack.
We had about three different opinios for a contraction, and in each one we described a scenario of what will happen at the moment of impact, and so we chose, as a group, the optmal scenario. Then we drew a sample of the chosen contraction and each member offered to work on a different aspect of the contraction, se we had a good teamwork and communication with each other.
I would say that our only and biggest mistake is that when we actually took a course of action and built the contraction, we didn't realize that it will be reasonable to assume that it will crack, and so we did not made any adjusments and/or corrective actions to fix it. At the end, I think that's what ultimately led to the failure in our mission goal.

Same problem that we had in this activity.
We definately had to come up with a concrete idea something that will not regretable toward to the end of activity with this time constraints and limited resources.
I realzied that at any plans, we should have alternative plan after plan A. In other words, we can not think of emergency situation.
With this kind of experience of activity, we will have flexibility to have both a strong plan A and supportive plan B in the future.
Our group actually had Plan A and Plan B,,,actually before we had just one idea how to handle this situation. and then later everything just got in order because everyone's ideas and concerns were listened. So, basically good team work always works
Hola!
I think you and your group follow all the direction steps to accomplish the goal, unfortunately your group did not pass the outcome but do not feel bad we all did the best. Beside, that the real reason behind the outcome was to work as a team and you did it.
