When progress depends on a decision and more than one person or group is involved, which response best describes how decision authority usually works?

Think about the work you are regularly involved in within this work context, whether you are making a decision, contributing to it, or depending on its outcome.

It is clear who has authority, and the decision is usually made without uncertainty about ownership. Authority is usually clear, but the decision often needs confirmation from someone beyond the people doing the work. The people involved usually have to clarify or negotiate who has authority before the decision can be made. Several people or groups may act as though they have authority, and progress often changes direction or pauses as a result.

When someone needs an accurate view of what has been completed, what is underway, and what needs attention, which response best describes how the current state usually becomes known?

Think about your own work, your team's work, and work your team depends upon within this work context.

The current state is readily visible and consistent without needing to ask around. The state of our own work is usually visible, but dependent work requires checking with other people or teams. Someone must contact several people or check several places to assemble a reliable view of the current state. Available accounts are often incomplete, outdated, or inconsistent, making a reliable view difficult to establish.

When progress is slower than expected, which response best describes how the reason for the slowdown usually becomes understood?

Think about your own work, your team's work, and work your team depends upon within this work context.

The reason is usually obvious to the people involved and is understood early. The reason usually becomes clear soon after the slowdown is noticed, with little investigation required. The slowdown is apparent before its cause, and understanding it usually requires investigation or several conversations. The reason often remains unclear while work continues through guesses, repeated checks, or temporary workarounds.

When something goes wrong and disrupts normal progress, which response best describes how far the effects usually travel before they are brought under control?

Think about the work you are regularly involved in and the connected work that depends on it within this work context.

The disruption remains within the directly affected work and is handled there. The disruption reaches nearby work or people before it is contained. The disruption reaches multiple teams or dependencies and requires them to change their plans. The disruption cascades broadly, causing work beyond the original problem to be reprioritized or stopped.

When an established way of working no longer fits the need, or a new approach is introduced, which response best describes how the work usually changes in practice?

Think about the regular ways work is coordinated within this work context.

People adjust the way the work is done while the need for change is still current. The way of working changes, but only after a delay, additional approval, or multiple attempts. Temporary workarounds become normal long before the underlying way of working changes. The need for change is widely recognized, but the old way continues with little practical change.
