There are a number of alternatives to the RACI participation types: The matrix is typically created with a vertical axis (left-hand column) of tasks (from a work breakdown structure) or deliverables (from a product breakdown structure), and a horizontal axis (top row) of roles (from an organizational chart).Įxample of a responsibility assignment (or RACI) matrixĪnother example from the maintenance and reliability community Where more than one participation type is shown, this generally implies that participation has not yet been fully resolved, which can impede the value of this technique in clarifying the participation of each role on each task.
Outside of this exception, it is generally recommended that each role in the project or process for each task receive, at most, just one of the participation types. Very often the role that is accountable for a task or deliverable may also be responsible for completing it (indicated on the matrix by the task or deliverable having a role accountable for it, but no role responsible for its completion, i.e. I = Informed (also informee) Those who are kept up-to-date on progress, often only on completion of the task or deliverable and with whom there is just one-way communication. C = Consulted (sometimes consultant or counsel) Those whose opinions are sought, typically subject-matter experts and with whom there is two-way communication. There must be only one accountable specified for each task or deliverable. In other words, an accountable must sign off (approve) work that responsible provides. There is at least one role with a participation type of responsible, although others can be delegated to assist in the work required (see also RASCI below for separately identifying those who participate in a supporting role) A = Accountable (also approver or final approving authority) The one ultimately answerable for the correct and thorough completion of the deliverable or task, the one who ensures the prerequisites of the task are met and who delegates the work to those responsible. R = Responsible (also recommender) Those who do the work to complete the task. For example, an organization may have ten people who can perform the role of project manager, although traditionally each project only has one project manager at any one time and a person who is able to perform the role of project manager may also be able to perform the role of business analyst and tester. There is a distinction between a role and individually identified people: a role is a descriptor of an associated set of tasks may be performed by many people and one person can perform many roles.
