I’ve spent the last few months reading about rationality while reading about the fundamentals of project management. I’m seeing a lot of overlap between the thinking of both fields. From what I can discern both are about doing the best with the resources you have. I think a lot of the ideas in rationality, “goals factoring,” “gears level-understanding,” and “murphyjitsu” would be useful concepts for the project management industry. The same applies vice versa — Wsycoki’s five levels of continuous improvement as an example.

I was curious to know if anyone had come across any papers or perhaps maybe even a blog about the intersection of the two. Thanks!
