Good Plan Gone Wrong

Our planning went really well. Unfortunately our egg was sacrificed to a great deed but the main goal of this activity was accomplished. Moreover, our group of six people was very successful going thought all the steps to try and protect the egg.

We started of with defining our goal. The goal was to protect precious egg. Also we looked over the time and all the attributes that we were getting. Ten minutes to think and then ten to actually create the cage seemed to be a good deal until we started the project. It felt more like five.

We planned to take over the scissors but then we decided that it was not worth to try and waist time getting it. We determined that we had straws and a tape that was not sticky. Therefore we had to come up with several alternative plans. We saw that with such small number of supplies and damaged tape it was really hard to accomplish the mission.

We came to a conclusion that we need a plan that required less tape and more straws. Since we had blueprints of what egg will look like, we started assigning jobs. Two people started to cut straws and other two were in charge to cut tape and one hold the egg. Then we all gathers our supplies and start building the cage for the egg. Our idea of the cage was 100% success because it was well protected from the impact side. The only thing that we did’t calculate was the shift of fluids In the egg itself what resulted of egg turning and dropping on its side and breaking. The 100% successful mission turned to failure but the main mission for this assignment was met and accomplished when we all did as a team.
