What is the term for the ability granted to a project team member to make decisions within a specified boundary?
Delegation
Task specification
Autonomy
Empowerment
Empowerment is the correct term because it refers to giving team members the authority and confidence to make decisions within certain limits. Delegation usually involves transferring a task, responsibility, or authority to another person, often without specifying the boundaries. Autonomy refers to freedom from external control or influence, which is broader than the specific grant of decision-making within boundaries. Task specification is not a recognized term related to decision-making authority within the project management context.
