  • RACI Matrix — Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed per decision
  • Decision Framework — What needs input, who decides, how to resolve disagreements
  • Communication Plan — Who/what/when, cadence, channels, feedback timelines

Common Challenges

Stakeholders designing solutions, conflicting priorities, late-stage scope changes, missing stakeholders.
