RACI Matrix

Responsibility assignment matrix: Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed per task.

# RACI Matrix â [Project / process name] ## How to use this matrix - **R** Responsible â the person doing the work. Multiple R is OK. - **A** Accountable â the ONE person who owns the outcome. Exactly one A per row. If you have two A's, you have no A. - **C** Consulted â input is sought before action. Two-way communication. - **I** Informed â kept up-to-date after action. One-way communication. Distinguish "needed for decision" (C) from "nice to know" (I). When in doubt, ask: would this person object if we didn't ask them? If yes â C. If they'd shrug â I. ## Roles | Role | Person | |---|---| | [Role 1] | [Name] | | [Role 2] | [Name] | | [Role 3] | [Name] | | [Role 4] | [Name] | | [Role 5] | [Name] | ## Activity matrix | Activity | Role 1 | Role 2 | Role 3 | Role 4 | Role 5 | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Define requirements | | | | | | | Draft design | | | | | | | Architecture review | | | | | | | Implementation | | | | | | | Code review | | | | | | | Test plan | | | | | | | Test execution | | | | | | | Pre-launch sign-off | | | | | | | Launch communication | | | | | | | Post-launch monitoring | | | | | | | Incident response | | | | | | | Retrospective | | | | | | ## Anti-patterns to avoid - **A-less row:** activity with no accountable owner â it will not happen - **A-heavy person:** one person carrying A on >5 rows â bottleneck risk - **C-everywhere:** if everyone is C on everything, decision-making slows to a crawl â be selective - **I-overload:** if everyone is I on everything, real updates get lost in the noise ## Review cadence - Revise this matrix when team composition changes - Revise when scope expands beyond original charter - Quarterly sanity check
