Who Decides, Who Uses?

Emma draws the project map, with who decides, who uses, and who is affected, and Ana discovers that the list is longer than it seemed. Say "who has the final say?"; "Jordan about the room and management about the money"; "and who uses the materials?"; "the new people we've never seen"; "and who is affected by them?"; "the front desk, me"; "so you're on the project?"; "I'm on the map, not on the team"; "is it the same thing?"; "it's not the same thing, people on the map are consulted, people on the team do the work"; and "write that down."
