Question

Software Engineering:

Organize the project participants into teams of four people. Each team has the following resources available: 2
eggs, 1 role of TESA film, 1 role of toilet paper, a cup with water, a bucket with two liters of sand, 20 foam balls
(each about 1 cm diameter), 1 table whose surface is about 1 meter above the ground. Each team has 25
minutes time to build and test an artifact that allows an egg to be released 75 cm above the table such that the
egg falls on the table without cracking. Each team has another 5 minutes to demonstrate the artifact to project
management.

Answer 1

So here we can see that this is a exercise where we require to build a team. Here it that instructs the  groups of individuals who are unknown to each other have to work together and then identify each individuals strengths. This helps us to understand that certain  problems are better solved in a collaborative environment.

As we all know Problem solving is the ability to work on problems by using thinking skills to arrive at a solution. In the workplace teams have to solve problems every single day.It improves the chances of coming up with the best solution or result. When people work together they can share and compare ideas and choose the one that best solves the problem. There is usually more than one solution to every problem.

The process to solve a problem we need to follow as below

1. Find the problem
2. Define the problem
3. Describe the problem
4. Diagnose the problem
5. Test the diagnosis

When working in a team, it can be easier to better understand the goals and objectives of the problem at hand. Like here we have the limited resources. So every member of the team will have same purpose . The purpose becomes easy to target, with all eyes focusing on  build and test an best artifact . Of course, arguments can arise over what to focus on, but typically, most individuals of a group will recognize what needs to be solved, and will gravitate towards that topic.

Such exercises are done at the beginning of a project to form teams.

And at last the team who shows the best team work and provides the best solution with each individuals efforts.
