Decision Rights & Delegation

Engineering Managers, Tech Leads, Directors, CTO, VP Engineering3-4 hoursDecision rights map by altitude and domain, with every gap, overlap and delay node named

Decisions made at the wrong altitude are the commonest source of both bottleneck and drift — which makes delegation a design problem, not a trust problem.

...decisions were made before the meeting started. The meeting is no longer a decision point. It is a documentation ritual. Pre-authorisation and the three delay nodes Decision Velocity Architecture (DVA)...
