EVMS Podcast - Episode 2 - Dr. Josh Ramirez
🚀 Episode 2 of the EVMS Podcast is now live.
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Josh Ramirez, NPPQ, PMP — a practitioner, researcher, and educator helping shape the emerging discipline of Behavioral Project Management.
In this conversation, Dr. Ramirez, explains why even well-intentioned project plans so often fail — not because of poor tools or weak discipline, but because of optimism, cognitive bias, time pressure, and human decision-making under uncertainty. We discuss why experienced teams consistently underestimate effort and rework, how cognitive overload degrades planning accuracy, and what it means to design project management around how people actually think and decide.
We also explore how this body of work is evolving into what Josh calls Project Science, and why evidence-based approaches are critical to improving forecasting accuracy and execution realism on complex programs.
If you work in EVMS, project controls, forecasting, or complex government and research programs, this is a deep, practical discussion that challenges how projects are planned — and offers a more reliable way forward.
