In the V2MOM framework, which element did Latané replace Obstacles with?

• A. Owner
• B. Metrics
• C. Timeline
• D. Resources

Answer: (A)

Focus on accountability. In this version of V2MOM, obstacles are replaced with an owner to designate who is responsible for clearing each barrier. Naming an owner shifts the plan from just identifying what stands in the way to ensuring there’s a person specifically accountable for taking action, coordinating any needed resources, and driving the issue to resolution. This makes progress tangible because you know who will push to remove the blocker and keep momentum toward the vision and methods. Metrics, timeline, and resources play different roles—measuring success, scheduling work, and detailing inputs—so they don’t replace obstacles.
