I love to study and one of my favorite formats is self-paced learning through reading and online courses. Furthermore, I have been teaching and providing training sessions on various topics for more than 10 years. In this space, you will find short courses or lessons on various topics I have been passionate about throughout the years.
Improve Estimation Accuracy by Overcoming Cognitive Biases
One thing I’ve learned throughout my career as a project manager is that deadlines are rarely met — and more often than not, it’s because of inaccurate estimates.
Estimation accuracy is influenced by many factors, but in this short lesson we’ll focus on the mental traps involved in estimating, and on some techniques for reducing their impact. I believe that becoming aware of these traps — and of how universal they are, regardless of expertise, culture, or familiarity with the context — makes us a little more compassionate toward the imperfect decisions we all make sometimes. And by applying the techniques we’ll cover, the accuracy of your estimates will improve significantly.
