Episode 4 — Build a governance framework that clarifies who decides what, and why (1A1)
This episode breaks down what it means to implement a governance framework that is clear enough to reduce confusion, prevent duplicated decisions, and make accountability enforceable. You’ll define decision rights as a practical concept: who is authorized to approve, who must be consulted, what evidence is required, and how exceptions are handled. We’ll discuss typical governance components—policies, standards, committees, charters, escalation paths, and decision records—and how they work together as a system rather than isolated documents. You’ll explore how ambiguity shows up in real organizations, such as conflicting architecture decisions, inconsistent vendor approvals, and projects that bypass controls under “urgent” pressure. For exam readiness, you’ll learn to select the “best answer” that improves governance clarity first, before jumping to tactical fixes that don’t address decision ownership.
