A recent experimental study on project management by Tobias Lieberum, Sebastian Schiffels and Rainer Kolisch shows: Without strict progression deadlines, as common in traditional project management, project agents spend too much time on early project phases at the expense of later ones. Self-imposed goals amplify this effect. Forced progression of agile project management mitigates the effect. Tobias Lieberum presented the study at the 1st Autumn Doctoral Consortium on Behavioral Decision Making on October based on his working paper “Should We All Work in Sprints? How Agile Project Management Improves Performance”. The 1st Autumn Doctoral Consortium on Behavioral Decision Making was organized by the Risk, Uncertainty, and Decisions (RUD) Group of the IE University, Spain. It virtually assembled approximately 50 scholars from top global business schools to present and discuss their latest research on topics of behavioral decision making.
