DACI
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
The DACI decision-making framework is a model designed to improve a team's effectiveness and velocity on projects, by assigning team members specific roles and responsibilities when it comes to group decisions. Developed at Intuit, the DACI framework originated as a tool to clarify decision roles and responsibilities.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
A direct acoustic cochlear implant (DACI) is an acoustic implant which converts sound into mechanical vibrations that stimulate directly the perilymph inside the cochlea. The hearing function of the external and middle ear is being taken over by a little motor of a cochlear implant, directly stimulating the cochlea.
Anchor fast decisions
Developed by Intuit, this framework for assigning roles in group decisions clarifies four roles for each decision: Driver (drives and executes), Approver (final decision-maker), Contributor (provides input), and Informed (those to be notified). The mechanism uses roles to eliminate 'decision vacuum' and the problem of 'everyone responsible = no one responsible'.
