Does anyone know if there is a technical term for this bias? "What I do is complex, difficult, and takes time. What you do is simple, easy, and quick." I see this quite a bit in project planning but also just in general. 1/3

For example, a developer underestimates time and effort for a new infrastructure solution. In their mind, the program the developer is coding is "sophisticated", but infrastructure is "simple". The dev assumes infra team can deliver sooner than the infra team estimates. 2/3

This has an impact on planning as well as inter-team relationships. I've seen it in multiple companies and orgs. Projects suddenly have blockers or go red because those that planned the project did not consult or trust the dependent team. Just assumed it would be quick/easy 3/3
