  9. CONCLUSION • Tran did an effective job managing the project. He was initially faced with problems with his personnel refusing to work together because of cultural and age differences. He dealt with the issue by sending his group on a two day retreat. His efforts included hiring a facilitator to have exercises designed to create a cohesive team. The retreat was a success. • The project progressed in five stages after installation. When installation was complete, the five tests were executed to determine the effectiveness of the installation, hardware and software of CEBEX. Tran encountered problems with the project during the second round of testing. Because of the nature of the work, his team became discouraged again. Tran effectively motivated his team by working with each group to boost their motivation levels. Finally, the project is on track with the third round of testing a success.
