Eggs Planning

The whole planning process for the eggs-ercise was pretty unique in that people were just throwing out ideas and shooting them down, or just plain yelling things out and taking lead in certain areas.
During Step 1 of the planning process, we definitely knew that we wanted to protect the egg and we had acknowledged the fact that we were running on a short deadline. Although seemingly long at first, after the first minutes passed, there was a sense of urgency in the air. We had set a goal to make a "crown" for the egg so that it would really protect it on one side, and just a little less on the other. Near the end we also figured that if we added more weight to the heavily protected side, that it would probably land that side first. I don't think we ever went into step 2 because throughout it all our group was never really sure of where we were in terms of our design. Step 3 took the most time for the group because of the constant change and discussion of a better design so as to protect the egg more. A few of us had different ideas of the perfect design in mind, so we just went around and drew how we thought it should be made, and as ideas flowed, some parts were taken up into the final design, while others were discarded. In the end, we wounded up scrapping a lot of the little details we had orginally wanted from everyone else's desgins and instead just wound up with a very basic design with no means of absolute protection at all, that was our step 4. Finally in step 5 of the planning process we were not able to follow through at all what we had planned and instead we just tried to make it so that we were able to actually tape the straws onto the egg. Due to the fact that we had not anticipated how hard it actually was to tape on the straws, we ended up not really following any idea at all and just went with it as we put it together.
So all in all, the final product that came about was definitely not something we had thought to be very good or actually capable of protecting the egg, but because of time constraints there was no way to change it when we neared the final seconds of implementation. Hopefully though after going through with this, next time we are faced with planning something, we will be able to more efficiently use our time and maybe actually stick with the plan in mind.
