Poor EGGS...I feel bad for whoverer had to empty the garbage!!


The class activity on planning was a great way to see how well we are at planning. My group did pretty ok during the planning process even though our egg broke :(. Before looking at the steps I actually would not have even considered a structured plan to implement our goals. It wasnt until comparing it to the outlined planning process that we discussed in class that I actually felt we could have done a lot more to be efficent in our egg process. Well first we discussed ideas about the egg, what wouldnt work, what couldn't work and all of the details. When we got the egg, everything was kind of being rushed to get done because of our time constraints. We also had to revise our structure at times. I think the part where we could have improved was towards the end of the planning process. We had the idea in our heads and somewhat one paper, but didnt have the actual technical layout, like the exact science. Like we knew where we wanted to be at the end, but no set exact way of getting there. We just decided that we would fiigure the minor things out as we got our egg. I believed that my team lightly touched all the steps in the outlined planning process, except making a tactical plan. We assigned people some roles, but at the same time I kind of feel like we were more going with the flow of things. We also did not plan on the scissors scenario, but luckily we ended up with a pair pretty quickly. I think if we have followed the planning process outlined in class we could have done that much better. Overall, I do believe that we did pretty good and we got to our end design, but in a less contructed way.
