A project manager wants to foster equality and inclusiveness while still ensuring that decisions are made efficiently and by the most qualified individuals. According to PMI guidance on empowering team members, which approach to delegating decision-making authority is most appropriate?
Require the project sponsor to approve all significant decisions to avoid team conflict.
Grant every team member the same level of decision-making authority to promote equality.
Delegate decision-making authority according to each person's expertise, experience, and responsibilities, making the boundaries explicit.
Keep all decision-making authority with the project manager to maintain centralized control.
PMI emphasizes that the project manager should determine and bestow levels of decision-making authority based on each team member's role, expertise, and accountability. Granting identical authority to everyone can slow decisions and ignore specialized skills, while retaining or escalating all decisions undermines empowerment. Delegating authority that matches responsibility both empowers individuals and keeps decision quality high.
