Steps in the Planning Process

Steps in The Planning Process:We did a pretty good job at planning our project. We took the following steps:
a) Defining goals and objectives: We divided our group into specific tasks and assigned one task to each member. We also outlined the chronological order of doing things. For example: One would get the scissors, two people will make triangles, one person will hold the egg and one person will put them together. We even identified the time it will take for each person and the total combined time for the group.
b) Resources: We saw who was the shortest and so that person can drop the egg..who is not clumsy so they can hold the egg..who is better at designing and putting the design together and utilized our resources well so we were finished way before the time finished.
c) Alternative Scenarios: We thought that if the triangle idea does not work, we should use the circular idea and drew both the designs to be implemented.
d) Allocating Resources: Each person was given a specific task to do based on his area of expertise.
e) The plan was implemented successfully. The whole issue why our plan failed was because one member started pasting the left over tape on several places so we had to drop pur egg twice as it needed to be 50% visible.If I have to do this all over again, I would make sure as a manager that every person abides by the plan.But the whole experience was very entertaining and learning adventure.
