• Anna-Lena Kopanischen Empathetic Project Lead - How Kindness and People Always Matter
  Numbers, quality rate, customer and risks in view - this is perhaps the classic view of a project manager on a project. All true, all important, but my personal view of these KPIs has changed fundamentally in three years of active project management. Because with a successful and happy team, these can be achieved without any problems. I would like to share with you how soft skills such as empathy, friendliness and individual perception have helped me to achieve this!
• Milena Fluck Decision-Making under Uncertainty
  Whether writing a proposal, making a fundamental architecture decision, or selecting the right tools and libraries - in IT, we make risky decisions under uncertainty every day. We speak of decisions under uncertainty when we as decision-makers can only know and predict the state of the environment and possible consequences of the decision with uncertainty. Risk and trade-off analyses, many meetings and experts help us to minimize uncertainty and keep the risks within limits. Sometimes this does not go so well.

Despite rational circumstances, analyses and experts, our daily decisions are often subject to time and budget constraints. That is why it is important to make decisions under uncertainty, to know strategies and to prevent fallacies. This talk is about the psychology behind decisions under uncertainty.

How do people deal with risks, the probability of damage and loss? To what extent do character traits, emotions, age, experience, and external influences influence decisions under uncertainty? What role do statistics and perceived personal and economic consequences play in such decisions? We will look at theories and heuristics. from the field of decision theory always in relation to decisions from everyday developer life.
