Lesson 5 of 8
Making the decision, and owning it
Choose, say why, and say what you expect to happen.
What it is
A decision records the chosen option, the reason and an expectation you can check later.
Why it matters
Writing the expectation down before you see the result is what lets you learn from the outcome, instead of explaining it away.
How DeliverX does it
- Only you record the decision; agents can recommend but never decide.
- You note what you expect to happen and how you will know.
- The decision, your reason and the evidence used are kept in the project record.
Common mistake
Deciding without stating what result would prove you wrong.
Try it in your project
When you decide in your project, write the one number or signal you will check afterwards.
