lobostome | Management: Decision Making

Team decision making can be an easy or a hard process depending on the team dynamic. No matter what the situation is, there are two major factors that come into play:

Let’s geek out and create a flowchart that will drive us through the decision process using the DOT language:

digraph G {
    problem [
        label = "The problem";
        shape = rect;
    ];
    opinions [
        label = "Pool of Opinions";
        shape = rect;
    ];
    vote [
        label = "Team vote";
        shape = rect;
    ];
    decision [
        label = "Clear Decision?"
        shape = diamond;
    ];
    success [
        label = "Success";
        shape = rect;
    ];
    alignment [
        label = "Align on goals";
        shape = rect;
    ];
    data [
        label = "Data-driven";
        shape = rect;
    ];

    problem -> opinions
    opinions -> vote
    vote -> decision
    decision -> success [ label = "Yes"; ]
    decision -> alignment [ label = "No"; ]
    alignment -> data
    data -> opinions
}
