Question
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. They also assign and schedule tasks, like in the example of a graphic design's timeline. They work with other team members to decide who will provide input and who needs to agree with the proposal. Once the roles are identified, the project manager workshops the proposal with the key stakeholders until they come up with the right solution, which is then taken to the decision-maker for final approval.
This 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.
