Authority TemplateDate: _____________________ You will need authority, with respect to your team members, to get work done through them. Early in your project you will negotiate these specific authorities with someone who is in a position to delegate them. Sometimes you will need to share your team members with other managers. These managers may be involved in the negotiation too. This worksheet is simply a negotiation tool, to help you make sure that all relevant authorities are clear and have been discussed. 1. These authorities are in reference to which team member(s)? 2. Which higher level managers were involved in this discussion? (The involvement of higher level management is necessary, so that formal authority can be granted.) 3. As a group, discuss which authorities the project or program manager requires to get the work done. Also, discuss which authorities other managers (e.g., functional or process) require to get their work done. Indicate your answers on the following page. Almost certainly, you will need to annotate many of the cells on the table, not just check them. Delegated Authorization |
