In a situation where the team is in turmoil and arguing about how to reach a proper solution I believe it is best to form a platform on which everyone is able to communicate with each other. This process should not be rushed as members will be angered by decisions that they do not all agree on. It is best to take more time so that all members can voice their opinions and if a decision can not be reached after the extended period of time then a majority decision should be used as it is not practical to waste time on a discussion that will remain in a deadlock. When looking at whether to shorten the time for an experiment I do not think it outweighs the results that can be obtained from a correctly run experiment. When a experiment is rushed more mistakes are likely to happen, which can then cause the project to take even longer to conduct. Also, if poor results are produced than they can not be used to verify your product. I believe that a couple weeks added onto a project is worth it to make sure that the product will pass all of the necessary specs set out. If too much time, such as an extra month is added than a lot of money and resources will be used that can be allocated to other aspects of the project. Also, a medical product can cause serious injury to the user if not designed correctly. This can cause major problems down the road if users are unhappy or are getting hurt using your product. It is better to take the time and make sure your product will be perfect to ensure commercial success.
