Thursday's Assignment; What happened & What we learned

Team #5
Brandon, Kamil, Jason, & Anthony

Thursday's assignment was about testing our team communication, our knowledge, and innovation skills to present our performance as a real CISCO employee. Our main goal as a team was to get 2 computers fully operational and ready for work; but in order for our team to accomplish the objective we had to test our ability to construct a half-built computer. The problem with the computer was that is was missing many significant accessories (Components) for the computer to be functional without encountering any hardware errors. As a team, Jason and Kamil (Technicians) were installing the hardware components while Anthony and I gathered other requested gears that the Technicians required. It took us relatively around 1 hour to finally get 1 computer running without having any technical difficulties for the windows operating system to start-up. After our first milestone was achieved it was my duty to download and install linux, replacing the current operating system which contained windows xp.
When i got up to downloading the operating system we had to abort the task because our timing had come to an end; leaving the team in an attempted fail to complete our primary objectives. The main problem i would blame for our teams failure would be the lack of resources available to us, short amount of time, lack of brainstorming ideas, and not enough efficient teamwork that was put into the tasks. A resolution that would help benefit us next time would be to, co-operate fully as a team, listen to other ideas and become more open minded to the situation, and to work more fast without any flaws or errors when booting up the computer.
