Talk:Tiger team

message: I have today removed most of this article as it appears to be almost entirely personal belief or recollection.  One citation does not provide original history or evidence that the term is used anywhere other than in one NSA exercise.  Indeed, the most common current usage I can find of the term is ironical, in the Dilbert comic strip.  I'll refrain from updating the article with that tone while we find references for sincere military / security usage, and the term's history. Rogerborg (talk) 08:25, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, the term was used during my Navy enlistment but not in the NSA context. I believe it referred to a temporary, ad-hoc committee or team of members with different backgrounds or specialties, working together on a problem. Like many words and phrases that arise from military service, it may prove difficult to track down its origin. Mark Turner (talk)      15:02, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citations are not optional 

message: I used Google's N-Gram Viewer tool to hunt down a 1964 definition of "tiger team" in the Google Books corpus.  This may be a fruitful approach to get closer to the origins of a term.  I revised the article to reflect its early appearance in aerospace (perhaps military) troubleshooting; I believe the security usage of the term came later. --Beamjockey (talk) 19:11, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origin and early history 

message: Oppose merge Tiger Team with Red Team. Red Team is not equivalent to Tiger Team. Red Team is an opposition force during war-game exercises (to oppose a "blue team"). Additionally, "red teaming" an idea is akin to attempting to disprove said idea. Source: Micah Zenko, "Red Team: How to Succeed by Thinking Like the Enemy", New York, NY:Basic Books 2015 ----
My understanding of "Tiger Team" is that is it a team put together to trial a new concept or idea, to eventually report back on how well something worked. Source: Work Experience ----

thread_title:  Merge with Red Team proposal 

message: Specifically the latter "Many tiger teams are informally constituted through managerial edicts" section, regarding NASA and an Apollo incident. There is way too much detail of questionable relevance to understanding the concept of a tiger team and the details are largely without references. I feel the second example of the NASA Engineering and Safety Center (NESC) making ad-hoc tiger teams for troubleshooting specific problems is enough detail that this additional detailed section can be removed, so I removed it.

thread_title:  Examples section seems overly intricate and poorly sourced
