Which role comes second in the KRUMP Chain?

• A. Department Head
• B. Next DJ
• C. GM
• D. PD

Answer: (A)

In the KRUMP Chain, the flow moves from planning and direction to department-level execution, then to broader management, and finally to on-air roles. The Department Head sits right after the program direction is set, acting as the bridge between strategic goals and day-to-day operations. They translate the overarching plans into practical, department-wide action, coordinate resources, and ensure consistency across programs. That bridging and execution focus is why this role is the second in the sequence. The Next DJ is more of an on-air or performer role, and the GM sits above a department, while the PD typically initiates the chain, not follows it.
