3 experts have described difficult decisions they had to take in one project.
Now think about what was important for them in taking the decision the took. Would they act differently in a different context? Why?
(If you are part of an ongoing PM bootcamp cohort on DEXA, also copy your comment to your group)
What I think was important for them in taking the decision is;
1. There is a clear route forward
2. Changes in the outside world making the project no longer a priority.
3. There might be a higher priority project that needs resources
4. Technical reasons why the project is no longer possible.
5. Whether the options for continuing vs cancelling are clear.
6. Whether relevant parties can come up with a solution or not.
Communicating they say is really the key in PM. Making a risk list and providing solutions to it.
Taking about the said date and time for the project also helps to manage time.What was important for them in making decisions was ensuring proper communication with the project organization and stakeholders.
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.

Communicating possible risk factors ahead of time, would had cone in handy.
Nevertheless, mutual understanding within the project team will yield great result.
I couldn’t agree with you more
I do not think they will act differently in any other situation. As the aim is always to ensure that the team work towards the project’s goal.
On the experiences of the expert, the one on the language barrier sounds familiar especially when handling project in a different language speaking country. It is key to learn the best and most effective mode of communication in these places.
The value of the project and the organization’s principles.
Well, in every difficult situation like this the aim is to make the stakeholders remember the goal and talk about getting to achieve it with a common understanding
Proper communication ahead of challenges would have posed a better place outcoome.
