I’ve had a lot of problems within projects and a lot of them are due to either problems that we failed to foresee or problems that were impossible to foresee. One project of mine included the use of a stress analysis software to analyze the effects of the pipe geometry with the flow of the fluid that passes through it. In this case, we were modeling the trachea and we wanted to use CT scans to create models for the structure but it ended up not working because the quality of the scans were not too grainy to create an accurate and high-definition model. Because of this, we had to use different imaging techniques and ask the participants to come back in. The imaging took a couple to perform and some processing to get the results. This was one of the reasons why we took a while to work on the project.

I think that this was one of the uncontrolled problems because there has not been any previous work on the project that we were working on. However, planning of the project much better and much more detailed could’ve been done to have a back up plan with regards to the issue.
