# The next step falls between responsibilities.

All stories are fictional. They do not describe specific people, companies or projects. Any resemblance is coincidental.

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.

## 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.

## Participants

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.
