Driver 🧑✈️
Drivers play a dual function: both driving the discussion forward and, when necessary, making decisions. Effective meetings have a single person who feels a responsibility to make sure the meeting goes well.
Maker 🎨
The doers who are primarily responsible for executing against the decisions made during planning.
Braintrust 🧠
Originally inspired by Pixar’s braintrust model, a core group of stakeholders that must be consulted in the decision-making process. The Braintrust is there to provide valuable and timely input on topics chosen by the Driver and Makers. The goal of the Braintrust is to “add lift, not drag” to the rituals and decisions of the Makers.
Interested ✋
People who are not in any of the other role groups, but want to follow along with the decision-making process and stay informed.
