The best work dynamic for a medical device project is a team whose members trust each other and have an ownership mentality. Each member should contribute to the project. It is important to have someone lead the project which a lot of times is the manager. To avoid issues such as the Space Challenger incident in 1986, every member on the team must communicate with each other, not just the manager. A project comes together when the team works together. The only way for this to happen is to communicate with one another.

I recently was part of a project that involved working with a team from our headquarters. The lack of communication between the team caused a delay in the project. It was frustrating for me as well as the other members because of how disorganized it was. If we communicated more and set weekly meetings, the project could have been done on time.
