PMI Network Magazine Articles

Luis - certainly PM Network articles or articles/content from related publications are on the table for discussion.

Biases are built-in devices that allow us to filter information that is coming at us.

The most important thing you can do is to be aware of your biases. That is, recognize how you think about people and situations.

For example:

"Everyone falls victim to biases.

Here are four to look out for:

Confirmation Bias: Subconsciously prioritizing lessons learned from past projects.

Groupthink: Following one vocal or authoritative person.

Attribution Bias: Not acknowledging past setbacks as potential risks to the project at hand.

Success Bias: Focusing too much on delivering the project and losing sight of the overall strategy.

Check out pro tips for busting those biases in the November PM Network®:

I like the focus on potential biases that could impact a project and consider these as risk factors.

Including evaluation of the biases in risk assessment helps by taking out emotional discussions that can occur in early phases like defining and planning.

I think discussions here are helpful as not everyone reads all articles
