During a sprint retrospective, the project manager realizes that several routine technical decisions still have to be escalated to her for approval, causing delays. According to PMI's guidance on empowering team members and stakeholders, what is the primary reason she should delegate clearly defined decision-making authority to the appropriate team members and stakeholders?
To ensure that decisions made by team members and stakeholders are always aligned with organizational policies.
To encourage team members and stakeholders to take ownership and accountability for their assigned tasks.
To save time for the project manager by delegating all decision-making responsibilities.
To make team members and stakeholders feel important, regardless of their input's impact on the project.
Delegating decision-making authority encourages the individuals closest to the work to assume ownership and be accountable for the outcomes. This sense of autonomy motivates active engagement and quicker, better-informed decisions, which ultimately strengthens overall project performance. Although delegation can save the project manager time or speed compliance checks, its main purpose in the PMI framework is to build ownership and accountability within the team.
