Consensus Decision

Definitions

1. A decision reached through broad agreement rather than unilateral authority or simple majority vote. Consensus decisions can build trust and buy-in, though they can also become slow or fuzzy if ownership is unclear.

   In plain English: A decision made through broad agreement.

   Example: "They wanted a consensus decision on the migration because three teams would live with the operational consequences for years."
