Describe at least three alternative approaches to decision making on a project team and describe when each is most appropriate
Key concepts to be covered in the response could include, but are not limited to:
- Project manager or sponsor makes the decision - If the decision requires a higher authority, or needs to be made quickly. In these cases the sponsor or project manager may ask the team for input, but should make it clear that they still intend to make the decision.
- One or two team members make the decision - This approach works if there is not enough time or information at the current team meeting and the decision needs to be made before the following meeting. A variation is for the two team members to investigate, and make a recommendation at the next team meeting.
- The project team votes to make a decision - This is typically not the best choice. One option is to take a non-binding vote to test for agreement, and revert to one of the other methods if many members disagree.
