@PennyPullan A7 Some common themes from previous #pmchat's eg. enabling the team be more autonomous in decision making where appropriate

[Stephen Glover @skg83239]

@PennyPullan A5 As already mentioned, a lot more people have had exposure to Google Docs & Sheets and collaborating remotely. I think also that people can work from home effectively maybe for part of the week. I sure many don't miss the daily commute #pmchat

[Stephen Glover @skg83239]

@PennyPullan A3 I'm using the time to learn new skills & exercising a lot more #pmchat

[Stephen Glover @skg83239]

@ruffh2o oops #pmchat

[Stephen Glover @skg83239]

@PennyPullan A1 I picture brainstorming and soundboading @pmchat

[Stephen Glover @skg83239]

@ruffh2o Hi Dr A and Penny @PennyPullan, good evening #pmchat'ers, Stephen here in the North of England

[Stephen Glover @skg83239]

@ruffh2o Dr A. Thank you for hosting today's #pmchat .

[Stephen Glover @skg83239]

@ruffh2o A8 Lead by example, be open about how decisions are made, and that input is asked for and considered #pmchat

[Stephen Glover @skg83239]

@ruffh2o A6 That's a toughie. It is very hard to go a look for evidence that you are wrong when you think that you have information that supports your opinion. Not ignoring evidence that you have is part of critical thinking #pmchat

[Stephen Glover @skg83239]

@ruffh2o Starting a programme on the basis that it is just a large project and not thinking about efficiencies that could be gained later by looking at project management and workflow systems #pmchat

[Stephen Glover @skg83239]

@ruffh2o A5 Ed is right though, all of them #pmchat

[Stephen Glover @skg83239]

@ruffh2o A5 HYPERBOLIC DISCOUNTING #pmchat

[Stephen Glover @skg83239]

@ruffh2o A4 Dialogue with the team and stakeholders and always be cognisant of the business case. Embed critical thinking in the project's decision making #pmchat

[Stephen Glover @skg83239]

@ruffh2o A3 Too many times. I know have fallen for it myself #pmchat

[Stephen Glover @skg83239]

@ruffh2o A2 This depends on the size/impact. I have seen the final implementation look quite different in detail from the initial "design". On the other hand something are just embedded into the project #pmchat

[Stephen Glover @skg83239]

@ruffh2o A1 soliciting other opinions is helpful, but group think is always a factor #pmchat

[Stephen Glover @skg83239]

@ruffh2o A1 bias is always a problem even when you know it exists. Trying to make decisions based on facts is a help but when do we have all the information in a quick moving project? #pmchat

[Stephen Glover @skg83239]

Hi Dr A & Ed, good evening #pmchat'ers, Stephen here in the North of England

[Stephen Glover @skg83239]

@AGILEartisan Thanks Neil, great #pmchat. I'm psyching myself up to answer Q6
