Real-Life Decision Making -- Solution

You try to fix the camera.

This is the real-life decision that engineering manager Joe Conlon would make. He would first try to fix the camera.

"I do agree with that, because sometimes you need to take your former experiences and apply them to this particular situation," says Conlon. "So [you should] see if you can correct it quickly."

Conlon says there's one other option to consider.

"The other [possibility] besides just going off trying to find another camera, is to call on a colleague who has a knowledge base to help you with that particular issue," says Conlon. "If you have 25 minutes, you have a little more time to reach out and get a collaborative solution happening."

The key is not to second-guess your decision. If you've decided to try and fix the camera, then you should tackle the problem immediately.

If you then decide that the repair will take too much time, you can look for an alternative solution.
