Overcoming the anchoring effect
Briefly

"The anchoring effect is a well-documented cognitive bias where individuals rely too heavily on the first piece of information they encounter - the 'anchor' - when making decisions."
"During an initial meeting, someone suggests a specific set of features that must be included in the first release, and this quickly gains traction despite a lack of user research."
"As it becomes the mental anchor, the original suggestion unduly influences decision-making, causing the team to overlook user data that suggests different priorities."
"In UX design, anchoring can skew decisions, leading to choices that fail to take into account all aspects of a project, harming the user experience."
