One 3-4 page paper for each group
Format: Times New Roman (10 or 12 pt), 1 margins, and double spaced
Citation format: MLA or APA
No late papers will be accepted.
Your group paper must address the following questions regarding the Teradyne Jaguar case.
1. Compare and contrast Teradynes traditional project execution strategy to the approach it used in Jaguar. What was similar? What was different?
2. What impact did the project management tools have on the Jaguar project? Specifically, how did they change behavior? How did they influence performance?
3. What were the unintended consequences of using the project management tools? What lessons should Teradyne take away from the Jaguar project?
Your paper should include an introduction to the case, and a conclusion that wraps up the main ideas from these three questions. The best structure for this paper would probably be to sectionalize each of the three areas. Be sure to include a reference page for any sources used in the paper (not part of the 3-4 pages). Also, the paper should be written with the assumption that the reader has read the case and therefore should not include long or numerous quotes from the case. Grammar, consistency, and flow will count toward your grade on the paper, so please select someone in your group to do the final edit on the document and to make it read as though written by one person.
Keys to a good grade:
1. Be concise!
2. Focus on people and processes (not the technology created by the project)!
3. Keep direct quotations to a minimum!
4. Remember, it is about lessons learned and not pointing fingers! What went right and what went wrong, not who is to blame.
