Replying to Thomas Walenta
...
I like the reply of Sergio.
Each project is unique, and you always have to analyse and understand the context, in social (stakeholder analysis), in temporal (what worked last year must not work today) and environmental (think PESTLE) based views.
Heuristics are good for your own learning, by recognizing patterns, finding mental models and making experiments for problem analysis. But they also result in bias and a narrow worldview. Staying open to anything, considering as many options as possible and understanding how you make decisions (self-awareness) is key for a successful project manager.
I would rather rely on wisdom than on heuristics.
