When to use it
Use to challenge an over-centralized CCoE mandate.
What to challenge
- Separate accountable authority from delivery execution.
- Make every important handoff directional and reviewable.
- Treat this reference pattern as a starting point, not a prescription.
Adapt it responsibly
- Rename functions to match the organization vocabulary.
- Remove elements that are genuinely out of scope.
- Validate decision rights and handoffs with accountable stakeholders.
