Contextual Electronics : Session 1 : Module 1 : Unit 14: The Importance and Role of Failure : Task

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: — Brooke @ 4:14 am

List your biggest failure in a project ever on the forum thread for this course unit.

  • A software project that a significant amount of time was spent on.  We delivered the project and the customer didn’t feel they received what they expected.  The biggest issues weren’t technical at all.  The issues were that our communication wasn’t  as good as we thought.  This was an important lesson that I was lucky to learn early on.

 

In the event you’ve never had a big failure, explain why you think that is.

  • I know I shouldn’t answer this one too.  I fail all of the time.   While trying to think of really big failures I struggled.  I just try to manage failure in small bites where possible.  This means that recovery from failure doesn’t have to be as big of an obstacle as it can be when we fail really big!  Unfortunately I don’t get to tell the fun and spectacular failure stories.
