What governance frameworks does this skill support?

This skill supports several industry-standard frameworks including RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed), DACI (Driver, Approver, Contributors, Informed), RAPID, and advice-based distributed authority models.

Can I use this for new team onboarding?

Yes, it is ideal for new teams to establish communication norms, response time expectations, and decision-making protocols from the start.

How does this skill help with cross-functional conflicts?

It provides structured mediation protocols, trade-off patterns for common disputes (like Product vs. Engineering), and explicit 'disagree-and-commit' mechanisms to resolve stalemates.

How does it handle decision authority ambiguity?

It guides users through a stakeholder mapping process to ensure every key decision has exactly one accountable owner or approver, preventing 'shadow governance' and paralysis.
