Step 1 — Add a decision
On the Decision Tracker, click New Decision. A form opens. Fill in:
- Decision Description (required) — what's being decided.
- Strategic Classification — the category or pillar it relates to.
- Executive Owner (required) — who's accountable.
- Current Status — Pending, In Progress, Implemented, or Abandoned.
- Deadline (required) — when it should be decided or implemented.
Click Save (or the equivalent) to add it to your list. The new decision appears immediately and starts counting toward your decision velocity.
📝 Note — Owners drive accountability The Executive Owner field is who's responsible for the decision. Choosing a clear owner helps track it and feeds the velocity metrics. Pick the person actually accountable, not just a department.
💡 Tip — Log decisions as they happen For the most useful velocity tracking, log decisions close to when they're made rather than in batches later. Real-time logging gives you an accurate picture of how quickly your organization decides.
