What is the role of a project manager in the RAPID decision-making model?

In the RAPID decision-making model, the project manager plays a crucial role. They are typically the Decision-maker (D) who has the final say on the solution after considering inputs and recommendations from others. They also often play the role of the Performer (P), the one who executes the decision. However, the specific roles can vary depending on the project's context and the organization's structure.

Question was asked on:

Determine who needs to make the decision on the solution, in this case, the project manager who assigns and schedules graphic design's timeline. Work with them to decide who will provide input and need to agree with your proposal. In this case, you'll need input from graphic design on what's a more reasonable runway, and agreement from the sales team so they can retool their promises to clients. Once you've identified the roles, workshop your proposal with the key stakeholders until you come up with the right solution, then take that to the decision-maker.
