Decision Making by Project Managers

There are four types of decision making usually PMs use:

1. Command
2. Consultation
3. Consensus
4. Coin Flip

The four major factors that affect the type of decision style selection are:

1. Time constraint
2. Trust
3. Quality
4. Acceptance

Six basic steps of decision making are:

1. Define problem
2. Generate solution (brainstroming etc.)
3. Ideas to Action (select best solution)
4. Plan solution action (buy-in)
5. Plan solution evaluation (post implementation evaluation)
6. Outcome evaluation (how well the problem was solved)
