The best solution is...maybe not the most comfortable one

One of the tasks of the Project Manager is to be able to identify the best approach to complete the project succesfully.

One of the challenges we need to surpass is the natural tendency to consider the best option for us as the best option for the project. This happens to project managers, to the technicians who need to provide input for the planning and WBS...basically to everybody on the loop.

Many times the easiest solution for the team members is not exactly the best option for the project. For instance: it is not necessary true in all situations that preparing a single request to vendors and setting the criteria at the highest level possible is the best option. It might be more expensive for the company ; compared to staggered controls and additional handoffs.
