That’s why, let’s start by saying what we will say last.
‘Sunk Cost Fallacy always works.’
If everyone in the process is not included in planning, the probability of coming across the word “unprojectified” is high. Because experiences and minds that are not included in the process are missed and the project starts incompletely.
Sunk cost fallacy provides the summary of what we are going to tell.
Sticking to the project we planned, the effort to continue even if it no longer serves the purpose…
One of Stephen Covey’s delightful stories is a good example when we summarize a bit and get the main ideas together.
A group walking in the forest tries to make their way in the forest with axes and machetes in their hands. Another team within the group sharpens the axes and machetes of those making the way and supports the team. After a while, after one of the them climbs up on a tree and looks around he shouts to the people,
-Wait, we are in the wrong forest! The people below answers,
-Get down, we are going on.
In the story, Covey compares the people making the way to the people doing the ultimate work, and those sharpening the axes/machetes to the managers and the person climbing up the tree and realizing they are in the wrong places to a leader.
Even if the project leader says that it is going in the wrong direction in the process, it may not be easy to stop a project that has already started and try to make time for replanning.
The moment you start to realize the problems about the project and the fact that you are drifting away from the scope or aim, sunk cost fallacy starts to work.
The calendar/schedule is gone wrong and time is lost. ⏰ Additional costs are incurred 💵 to get back at the goal and the hardest one is the energy and excitement take a hit. ⚡️The decrease in performance is massive. Money, time, energy…
Although moving fast, making it up as we go along, learning through the journey is good, we should allocate the time we need to spend on the project planning. Process partners should be included so that the excitement of the purpose we want to reach never fades away while we use our ax (without forgetting to sharpen) to find our way.
Because, if the excitement is gone, everything would disappear, may the force be with you all the time.
