    042 - Empathy in Communication with Sharon Steed

    “Empathy as a verb is a choice—and how you choose to engage in empathy is going to change from person to person based on each individual’s desires and needs." Empathy isn’t just critical to good communication. It’s the heart of effective leadership.

    041 - Bias in Estimation with Jacob Bodnar

    “We tend to think we can do things a lot faster than we really can. We also tend to think that the risks won't really be as bad and that the benefits will be really good." Anyone who has ever estimated a project, or even a single task, knows that it’s tough work. Not only are you making guesses about time spent or pricing, you’re probably also making guesses about the scope of the project itself. One question uncovers another question, and a detail you needed to know. But are you on the right path to get what you need to create a truly realistic estimate?  You might think you are, but the answer is probably no! Check out this episode of Time Limit, where Brett talks to Jacob Bodnar—the VP of Operations at Maestro—about biases in estimating, as well as in project management itself. They also discuss: The science of bias Project management bias The planning fallacy Optimism bias How to use your team as a check and balance when it comes to bias How to get to a place of understanding and deal with issues head on how to define a project and what you do/don’t know Where to find “unknowns” How to rule out the optimism; framing The language you should use in estimation See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
