Teradyne corporation is a semiconductor test machine manufacturer. The new range of testing equipment had been eagerly awaited since the traditional system had exhibited quite a number of challenges in project development. The project introduced useful aspects of project management such as formal project tracking tools, effectively and adequately designed development process and the principle of upfront planning. O’Brien’s strategies had experienced much success especially in hardware development but seemed to struggle in the software department in software implementation. The main question is `Did the new tools affect development processes. This article will make an analysis of the Teradyne Corporation: Jaguar project and discuss the impact of the new tools to the project development and the key lessons that were learnt in the process.

    In cycle one, the double displacement reaction, Cu(s) + 4HNO3(aq) → Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NO2(g) + 2H2O(l) occurred, the result of the reaction was that the reaction mixture began to bubble with the copper filling dissolving and a vapor like substance leaving the reaction. Furthermore, when water was added, the color change, from brown to a blue color pigment. Then in Cycle two, another double displacement reaction occurred, Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Cu(OH)2(s) + 2NaNO3(aq), which resulted in the reaction becoming cloudy and a darker shade of blue. Following cycle two, a decomposition reaction occurred as the result of heat being administered to the mixture, thus the following reaction occurred in cycle three, Cu(OH)2(s) → CuO(s) + H2O(l).

    Candidate Okane has a clear understanding of the five paragraph order and was confident and poised when briefing her fire team. SNC successfully covered most of the subparagraphs of the order but failed to brief an initial scheme of maneuver. During the execution, she quickly began to take action; however, she failed to think ahead and match the materials available with the different parts of the problem. Her failure to identify where to properly employ the equipment led her to spend a significant amount of time trying to get over the first part of the obstacle, eventually causing her to change her initial plan. Changing her plan demonstrated that she had the ability to identify and address friction areas.
