Generate a RACI matrix, free
Most "who decides what" confusion isn't a communication problem — it's a decision-rights problem: nobody wrote down who's actually accountable for a given call, so it defaults to whoever's in the room. A RACI matrix fixes that in one page: who's Responsible for doing the work, who's Accountable for the outcome, who needs to be Consulted before it happens, and who just needs to be Informed after. Describe your team below and get a real one, not a generic template.
Why
So "who decides this" stops defaulting to whoever's in the room, and decisions stop getting relitigated after the fact by someone who should have been consulted first.
What
A table: Decision, Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed — one row per recurring decision, not an org chart restated as a table.
How
List the decisions that actually recur — not hypothetical ones — and assign exactly one Accountable person per decision; Responsible, Consulted, and Informed can have several.
When
Write it once you have more than a couple of people who could plausibly make the same call, or right after a decision got made twice by two different people.
Where
Reference it directly in the meeting or process where that decision actually gets made, not buried in a general policies folder.
