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?

I don’t think they had any cause to regret any of the decisions they made.
As one speaker said, ego was kept aside. They ensured that communication lines were still kept open with all stakeholders to maintain continuity of the project. Another thing that they did was to be open and transparent – they were not afraid to admit the mistakes, take blame and work towards achieving a solution.
Communication works hand in hand with the Ethics
All three experts made sure the communicated effectively to their project team and clients concerning all the problems they faced. they also remained calm and collected and made sure to find a solution
The 3 expert highlighted 3 major points, which are;
Decision:
Being extremely careful when making decisions in order not to affect the project.
Reflection:
Reflecting on ideas over and over again before implementing them.
Different Context:
In a different context, such as a less severe weather condition where safety risks were manageable, decisions made should be considered. The balance between safety and project deadlines would shift based on the severity of the risk.
Their aims is to streak a balance and solve the difficulties or kios that arise
One of the power tools is communication and collaboration they ensure they have good communication which makes them address the situation and look for alternatives to achieve their goals
Some need to understand the moral values of his team members
Communication, collaboration and understanding with all parties involved in the project was their major way of handling those difficult decisions, then looking back at what the goal of the project was in order to achieve it’s aims and goals.

They prioritized the Project, while giving Clear communication and then Collaboration.
Their ability to remain positive, clearly convey ideas and work seamlessly as a group is truly impressive.
Why the Project Managers took the decisions which they did:
These 3 project managers had one aim in mind from the onset which was the achieving the goals of the project.
They had issues ranging from communication to collaboration to resources not being able to go round and a host of other key issues. It took the collaboration of all the stakeholders to actively engage and proffer a solution to the hurdles encountered in the course of the project.
The different case scenerios entailed different approaches to resolve the different type of problems that came up within the project.
Would they have handled it otherwise in different situations, most probably, but the solutions would still have been tailored to the needs of the project hurdle.
Communication and collaboration with all parties involved in the project was their major way of handling those difficult decisions, then looking back at what the goal of the project was in order to achieve it’s aim.
What was important for the taking of the decision where that the goal of the project must be achieved and nothing short of that, this help them to know when to continue or cancel a project, as a project manager
