Contingency Planning · Decision points · Component
The decision
Who makes the call, and the fact that deferring it is itself a decision with a consequence.
The deliverable
What it is
Decision points fail most often not because the criterion is wrong but because the decision is deferred by a fortnight, twice.
Deferring is legitimate provided it is recorded as a decision and the cost of the delay is stated.
