At your organization, who is the ultimate owner of a project? It can be a product manager, or someone else. At companies like Apple, that person is called the “directly responsible individual,” or DRI (Orwellian?). Every project is assigned to a DRI who’s ultimately held accountable for the success or failure of the project.
Subscribe to my weekly Nano-letter:
DRIs are leaders, really useful for:
cross-functional teams, where there are people from different departments
complex decisions or projects where a lot of input and information is necessary,
delegating decisions close to the data (the customers’ feedback or the business line)
The DRI aligns, communicates, asks and decides. You can learn more in an interview I did on Stakeholders Management with Softbinator Technologies.
Does your organization work this way? Should it? Tell me a story.
