# Co-Create Decision Matrices

**Action.** Do **not** create decision rights as a static list generated by a single leader. Instead, **facilitate upfront discussions and let the team co-create the [[entity-raci-d1]] matrix** so they actually remember and adhere to it.

**Outcome.** Increases adherence and prevents the document from being glanced at once and forgotten.

Direct countermeasure to failure mode #2 ([[claim-static-raci-ignored]]) in [[framework-decision-rights-mistakes]].

> **Enrichment note:** Supported by PM guidance recommending kickoff meetings, scope definition, stakeholder identification, and periodic role review to keep the matrix usable.
