In practical terms, it is how the month runs: who has the right to make which decisions, which meetings happen and why, and the steps that turn work into something delivered. This template captures those three parts plus a test for what counts as a good month, on a single page.

An org chart shows who reports to whom. An operating model shows how decisions and work flow in practice. Someone junior on the chart can still own a decision, like correcting a wrong due date in the example, and this note makes that explicit.

The form has three rows for each by design, which keeps the note to what matters most. If you need more, the first three are probably not specific enough, or the rest belong in a RACI chart or a decision log, both of which allow as many rows as you need.

The note is kept in your browser's storage on this device, with no account required, and reloads when you come back. It does not sync to colleagues or other computers. To distribute it to the team, copy the output into your wiki or intranet, or print it and hand it to a new manager on day one.
