Delegation Document

This template is designed to assist an organization in assigning decision-making authority to appropriate parties in order to:

Allow for the best decisions to be made
Make management processes more efficient
Contain the level of risk associated with each decision

This document is not intended to serve as a “blame map” when things go wrong, rather a guideline to help all parties understand the general rules of engagement.

What will doing this get you?

This template helps you have a productive discussion with your project sponsor and agree on the types of decisions you can make and the ones that need to be escalated.
