DACI Decision-Making Framework

A facilitated decision exercise that separates the driver, approver, contributors, and people who need to be informed.

What to look for

  1. 01

    Name one decision maker rather than collecting ambiguous approvals.

  2. 02

    Capture scope, inputs, a deadline, and the decision so participants can act on it.

Keep in mind

Role labels help only if the assigned people have the authority and time to perform them. The facilitation guidance is public; linked software templates may need an account.
