When to use it
Use it when you've gathered input and it's time to decide. Show you've listened, state the decision, and give the reason. Teams want a say, but going around in circles is frustrating. Someone needs to decide, and that's you.
Example
You: “I've heard everyone. We're going with option B, and here's why: it's faster to test.”
Team member: “Makes sense. Let's go.”
In an email or Slack message
Post the decision in writing so nobody misses it: “Decision: option B. Why: faster to test. Thanks for the input, especially on the risks.”
