Editing UNITA Agile Management Guide (section)

== Escalation Process of Decisions ==

=== Managerial Decision-Making ===

The task team must work autonomously, but in constant coordination with the WP leaders and the Management Committee.  
Decisions on the development of tasks are taken within the task team.  
Questions that cannot be resolved by the task team are referred to the WP leaders for their arbitration.  
If arbitration is not possible and the question is of a managerial nature, the WP leaders will pass the question on to the MC.

One of the roles of the WPL is to refer questions to the MC only as a last resort.  
They must first and foremost seek a resolution within the WP.  
When communicated to WPL or the MC, problems must be well defined and always include possible solutions.

=== Political Decision-Making ===

Due to the transformative potential of UNITA and the deep impact of its structures and activities on the alliance members, some of the decisions made within the TT must be validated by the Vice Rectors-Presidents Boards who will act as delegates of the Governance Board.

This political approval not only affects certain decisions, but also some deliverables or milestones, as pointed out in the corresponding section.  
The WP co-leaders will handle the interaction with the [[VR/VP|VR/VP]] boards.

* Following the work of the task team, a need for a decision with political impact arises, with several alternatives.  
* This decision is submitted to the [[WP Co-Leaders|WP co-leaders]] by the [[Task_Team_Co-Leaders|TTL]], providing the necessary context.
* The [[WP Co-Leaders|WP co-leaders]] consult the [[VR/VP|VR/VP]] board assigned to the task, who make a decision either during a scheduled Steering Committee meeting (VR/VP board enlarged to WP and Task co-leaders) or asynchronously through a survey, in both cases arranged by the WP co-leaders.
* The decision made by the [[VR/VP|VR/VP]] board is communicated to the [[Task_Team_Co-Leaders|TT co-leaders]], so that they can include it on the agenda for the next task meeting.
* The decision is communicated to the [[Task Team Members|TT]], who resumes the work on the matter with a clear political guidance.
