DECISION MAKING PROCESS:

 SCENARIO:
A manager is responsible for overseeing a team of software engineers. The team is currently
developing a new product, but the project's manager is worried about its development. The crew is
still running behind schedule as the deadline draws near.
we can use the rational decision-making process to solve the above case/problem:

1. Identify the problem:


First, we need to identify the problem. The problem, in this case, is “The deadline is approaching
quickly, and the team is still behind schedule”.

2. Establish Decision Criteria:


What factors are important to the manager in making this decision? Some potential criteria
could include:
 Meeting the project deadline
 Delivering a complete and high-quality product
 Maintaining team confidence
 Avoiding additional costs

3. Weigh Decision Criteria:


The manager should decide which criteria are most important and assign them a weight. For
example, the manager might decide that meeting the project deadline is most important, so they
give it more priority. They might decide that delivering a complete and high-quality product is the
second most important, so they give it a weight. And so on.

4. Generate Alternatives:
The manager has three alternatives in this scenario:
increase the workload of the team, hire more engineers, or reduce the scope of the project.
 Increase the workload of the team:
The manager could require the team to work overtime or weekends to catch up. This would be
the fastest way to get the project back on track, but it would also be the most disruptive and
stressful for the team.
 Hire more engineers:
The manager could hire more engineers to join the team. This would help to reduce the
workload on the current team members, but it would take time to find and hire qualified engineers.
 Reduce the scope of the project:
The manager could reduce the scope of the project by removing some features or functionality.
This would make the project more manageable, but it would also mean that the product would not
be as complete as originally planned.
 Manager also Work with Their Team to Complete Task:
By working with their teams to complete tasks, managers can help to ensure that tasks
are completed efficiently and effectively, and that team members are motivated and
productive.

5. Evaluate Alternatives:
The manager has evaluated each of their alternatives against their decision criteria. he has
found that increasing the workload of the team would be the fastest way to meet the deadline,
but it would also be the most disruptive and stressful for the team. Hiring more engineers
would help to reduce the workload on the current team members, but it would take time to
find and hire qualified engineers. Reducing the scope of the project would make the project
more manageable, but it would also mean that the product would not be as complete as
originally planned.

6. Best Alternatives:
The manager chooses to hire more engineers. he believes that this is the best way to balance
the need to meet the project deadline with the need to deliver a complete and high-quality
product.
