In project management decision-making is crucial in order to achieve best possible solutions. Therefor mangers often implement decision making skills to optimize the outcome of projects within the available resources at their possession. Some decisions are relatively unimportant; while others are crucial and will therefor define the outcome of projects. Most people consider themselves competent decision makers based on a history of making reasonable decisions in past projects. But Recent neurological research studies have indicated though that the human brain is not usually logical; in fact, most decisions are taken emotionally and are only later justified if questioned by the rational portion of the brain. Once a person has decided, the person searches for data to support the taken decision rather than the other way around. To ensure rational, unbiased decisions and make, critical decision-making some considerations are implemented This wiki article goes in depth with decision-making as tool and how to implement it and look at some of the most common flaws in it.
