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)
All three project manager were more interested in meeting their clients satisfaction at that point in time. On they different context , they would have acted differently cos of their Values.

Experts often base their decisions on a combination of factors, including available data, experience, ethical considerations, and project constraints. What’s important to them can vary, but generally, they prioritize achieving project goals, minimizing risks, and ensuring alignment with organizational values.
In a different context, experts might act differently because the variables and considerations could change. For example:
1. Project Complexity: In a more complex project, experts might prioritize a more thorough analysis of data and potential consequences.
2. Resource Availability: If resources are scarce in another context, they may need to make more conservative decisions to stay within budget.
3. Time Pressure:When time is limited, they might opt for quicker decisions, potentially taking on more risk.
4. Ethical Implications:Different contexts may bring unique ethical challenges, influencing their decisions accordingly.
5. Stakeholder Expectations:The expectations and priorities of stakeholders can vary, impacting their decision-making approach.
Various organizations face their complexities and limitations and these complexities if not adequately managed and mitigated could hinder the outcome of most projects.;some of these difficulties could be meeting the stakeholders demand or standard, resources constraints, organizational culture, risk management.
These pros and con’s could be mitigated through ;good critical planning and communication, adequate resource allocation and management, effective team motivation and good organizational mission and moral value system.
As a project management, one of the difficult decision is terminating a project earlier before the deadline. As a project manager you have to make strong decision that will help in moving the project forward and advancing and when this happened. you negotiate with your clients and see how you can end up things with both end on a win-win level
The state of mind of a project manager goes a long way because it can make or mere project manager
Yes, they would act differently in another context because there are many factors to be considered in a difficult discussion. and probably in another context, the factors might to a different decision. But if the conditions and the factors remain the same, I believe they would not be scared to take the same position.
Making decisions depends on the factors surrounding the project. If it would be feasible or not. The PMs in the video would have acted in a different way. Their goal was to deliver a successful project to the client.
Of course, they would act differently in a different context/situation because flexibility is paramount in any situation. This also depends on the stakeholders involved.
