gebhard ,

“A Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM), also known as RACI matrix (pronounced /ˈreɪsiː/) or Linear Responsibility Chart (LRC), describes the participation by various roles in completing tasks or deliverables for a project or business process. It is especially useful in clarifying roles and responsibilities in cross-functional/departmental projects and processes.”[Wikipedia]

Roles:

  • Responsible: individual(s) performing the work
  • Accountable: individual(s) who manage correct and thorough completion; manages Responsibles, ensures work is done
  • Consult: individual(s) providing guidance; no specific duty
  • Inform: individual(s) kept up-to-date (e.g. stakeholder, sponsor)
