Quick Question: Who has the D?

If you’re familiar with the RAPID framework, you’ll know that the D is for Decide. I’ve seen so much time wasted, especially in cross-functional teams, because people are unsure who has the authority to make a decision. They don’t know who has the D.

Establishing a cross-functional team - Understanding roles, responsibilities, and decision protocols up front will save you a lot of heartache down the track.
Feeling agitation among your colleagues - when frustrated by a lack of progress, team members will express, but may be unable to escape the vortex of indecision. This question may give them a path forward.
Making decisions with significant consequences - The weightier the decision, the greater the need for clarity on the D.
