What is a RACI?<\/p>\n

A R<\/strong>esponsible, A<\/strong>ccountable, C<\/strong>onsulted, and I<\/strong>nformed (RACI) matrix is a project management tool that helps define responsibility and accountability for every task\/milestone in a project or campaign. In defining\u00a0<\/span>accountability,\u00a0this tool helps set clear expectations through the workflow process. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

(The RACI chart is a matrix with roles on one axis with tasks along the other access. Roles typically include the essential team, essential SMLT to be informed, a sponsor and\/or advisor, subject matter experts (SME\u2019s), and the project manager, but may also include external resources such as consultants, and sub-teams that include analysts and web. Role definitions are denoted with the RACI role letter.)<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Defining the Roles<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The roles that stakeholders may play in the RACI are:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Responsible:<\/span><\/b> is a manager or team member who is directly responsible for the successful completion of a project task. There may be multiple R\u2019s for a task, but typically there should be one or very few to complete the objective.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Accountable:<\/span><\/b> is the person with the final authority over the successful completion of the specific task or deliverable. This person is the owner of the task and ensures that the execution of this step activates the following step.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Consulted:<\/span><\/b> is a person or role whose subject matter expertise is required in order to complete the deliverable properly. These people may serve as experts in the field, or the project may impact their own work.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Informed:<\/span><\/b> is a client or executive who isn\u2019t directly involved but needs to be kept up to speed on the status of the project completion. They are typically leaders or stakeholders who may share the project status with other stakeholders. The Informed should not be included in meetings or in the review process, otherwise they would at least be considered a Consulted.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some project managers prefer the <\/span>RASCI matrix<\/span><\/b>, which only differs in adding a Supportive role that takes the original Consultive role, defines it as ONLY supplying information, and defines the Supportive role as a consultant that takes on Responsibility (duties). Not all SMEs are messaging gurus, and the S role would likely be a communications specialist who is an expert on a given subject.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
