group decision
Team's final call
A group decision is a choice made collectively by multiple people rather than by a single individual.
The term often implies some process of discussion, voting, or consensus-building: We made a group decision to postpone the trip.
Group decisions may carry more legitimacy but can also be slower or reflect compromise rather than optimal choice.
