Assess Responsibility through Ownership, Authority, and Causes

Assess responsibility through task ownership, authority, and actual causes. A blame label alone does not identify corrective work.

Distinguish tasks you can change from decisions owned elsewhere, investigating information, approval, and available time.

Distinguish Outcomes, Causes, and Owned Decisions

For a delay, record work-start and material-arrival dates. Investigate which person could change which task alongside causal hypotheses.

Atlassian’s DACI clarifies decision-driving and approving roles. (Atlassian: DACI) Check decisions within your authority and those requiring approval.

Specify Your Corrections and Work Requiring Cooperation

Choose changes you can make, such as requesting materials earlier or recording blocked work. Clarify owners, decisions, and dates for delayed approval.

Route requests beyond someone’s authority to an authorized decision maker.

Use Corrective Results in the Next Task

Check recurrence after changing ownership and dates. Review actual changes to tasks and decisions alongside reflection.

Describe your own responsibility and delivery scope in public work examples.
