- The conflict of project work
i) we are involved in the work personally
ii) It is often the result of personal decisions
iii) it is hard to separate our decisions from ourselves
iv) good people make poor decisions
v) self criticism is very hard
vi) it is hard to look at our own work critically
- Good decision making is about selection options that are good and avoid the bad
learning from mistakes - ours and others - avoid problems
learning from success - repeat what works
- There are a variety of choices to assess projects with.

- A method is presented here that allows a semi-objective approach for assessing decisions.
