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.

...decision is predictable, it should not need to wait for approval. DVA does not eliminate governance. It changes how governance is applied — shifting the system from waiting states to pre-authorised states....
