There are five steps in the planning process.
1. Define your goals and objectives
2. Determine your resource and current status objectives
3. Develop several alternative strategies
4. Make a tactical plan
5. Implement the plan and evaluate results
Base on the activities that we have with the "EGG", I would give our team from the scale of 1-10, and 10 as the highest, a 9.
1. Since the beginning of the activities, our team know our goal and objectives, is to drop the egg with protection of 8 straws and some tape, and the goal is to protect the egg without breaking the egg after dropping from high.
2. The resource is defined: an egg, 8 straws, some tape, and one scissor pass around the class. In fact, our current status and objectives are set. Our group strength is to work as a team. Everyone plays their own parts in participating.
3. We all give in our ideas of what we think, and choose from the best plan, or build on top of the best plan, to make it more firm to achieve our goal and objectives.
4. Then, we decide our role in the team. I am responsible for getting the scissor, Julien responsible for dropping the egg. But in the mean time, Julien and I rip the tape, So and Wen placed the straws and trape the straws. Then, Jason constructs the straws with trap with the egg.
5. The plan goes well; we follow the guideline and showing 50% of the egg, while building the construction around it.
However, when the egg drop from high, it leaks a bit when it hit the trash can. Overall, I believe our team works together and share our thoughts together, I giveour team a 9. If there is anything that our team has to work more upon, I should say we should think out of the box more, instead of being limit, but try to figure out what is the limit.

Its difficult to try to think out of the box without taking a lot of risk. Sometimes its better to take risk than to take the safe road. I understand exactly what you mean when you say that thinking outside the box is sometimes important.
Even though the egg was broken, all members did their best in planning to protect egg from breaking.
I think that you learned how to make an effective planning to achieve the goal from this activity. As you mentioned, thinking out of box is good way to develop some concepts into better ones, but you need to be careful about that it can be very risky. But I Do believe you could do well for next group project if you keep these planning rules in your mind and proceed.
Once again, I’d like to say that your group organized the planning process well. And you know the famous expression: Mistakes are the mother of Success. Good Luck~
