# Decision-Making Meeting (DACI) Template

**Purpose:** Make one clear decision using DACI roles, then communicate it and move on.

- **Duration:** 45 minutes
- **Cadence:** As needed
- **Participants:** Decision Driver, Approver, and Contributors (3-8 people)

**DACI roles:** Driver (runs the process), Approver (makes the final call), Contributors (provide input), Informed (hear the outcome).

## Agenda
- [ ] Frame the decision (5 min)
- [ ] Assign DACI roles: Driver, Approver, Contributors, Informed (5 min)
- [ ] Present options and context (12 min)
- [ ] Contributor input (13 min)
- [ ] Approver decides (7 min)
- [ ] Communicate and act (3 min)

## Facilitator tips
- Name one Approver. Shared accountability usually means none.
- Separate input from the decision. Contributors advise, they do not vote.
- Write down the reasoning, not just the choice.
- Set a deadline and decide by it even with imperfect information.
