COGNITIVE BIASES IN GROUP DECISIONS OF IT PROJECT TEAMS AND WAYS TO LIMIT THEM
Abstract
The article covers behavioral determinants of decisions made by IT project teams during the whole project cycle. Project decisions are usually made in risk conditions and require careful analysis based on available information. The project decisions are usually complicated and threatened by the influence of heuristics and the occurrence of cognitive biases. The article indicates the need for greater integration of behavioral economics and project management methodologies. This will allow a better understanding of the basics of making design decisions and reducing the impact of cognitive biases on these decisions. Project team members can use specific techniques provided by agile project management methodologies, in particular Scrum, to reduce the impact of cognitive biases on project decisions.
