What is Bayesian reasoning?

Bayesian reasoning is a mathematical method for updating the probability of a hypothesis as more evidence or information becomes available, moving from a prior belief to a posterior probability.

Can I use this for software project management?

Yes, it is highly effective for forecasting release dates, estimating the likelihood of bug fixes working, or predicting user adoption based on early beta testing data.

How does this skill help avoid cognitive bias?

It requires the explicit documentation of priors and the use of base rates, which prevents common biases like anchoring on new information or ignoring the statistical background of an event.

What is a likelihood ratio in this context?

The likelihood ratio measures the diagnostic power of evidence by comparing the probability of seeing that evidence if your hypothesis is true versus if it is false.
