The next step falls between responsibilities.

Sales is waiting for a product change. Development needs confirmed requirements, finance needs a cost justification, and support needs service rules. Everyone answers questions within their remit. Nobody is preparing the shared decision that would let the work move forward.

A useful distinction

What is holding up the next step?

Not sure yet: general approach

General approach

Where we could start

Clarify where the work has stopped and which decision, resource or handover is needed next. Separate known constraints from assumptions with the participants and prepare the next agreement.

What you would have

A description of the obstacle, open questions and the next decision, including the people needed to make it.

Who needs to be involved

The requester, representatives of dependent work and a leader authorised to make the required decision.

Roles and decisions

The proposed approach needs checking against your situation. I do not replace management authority or specialist professional assessments.

This is a starting point for a conversation. We would check the approach against your task.

Prepare an enquiry
