Delegation scope: what it is and what it means

Delegation scope is the bounded set of decisions and resources handed over to the delegate. It is defined by four written elements: the subject of the delegation (what), boundaries (how far), resources (with what), duration (for how long). Without explicit written boundaries, every gray area bounces back to the person who delegated.
