Stakeholder Roles: Who Decides What
Projects move fastest when everyone knows who decides what. Unclear ownership is a common cause of delay, with decisions bouncing between people or stalling because no one feels able to say yes.
At the start of your project we agree the key roles on both sides, so that when a decision is needed, there is always a clear person empowered to make it.
Roles We Like to Agree
These roles can be held by different people or combined, but each responsibility needs a clear owner.
- Decision-maker: the person who can give final sign-off on scope and budget.
- Product owner: the day-to-day voice of your priorities.
- Subject experts: people we consult on specific areas.
- Reviewers: those who approve work in their area.
Why It Speeds Things Up
Clear ownership removes the friction that quietly slows projects down.
- Decisions land quickly with the right person.
- We know exactly who to ask for each kind of approval.
- Fewer items stall waiting for someone to say yes.
