RACI Matrix Template
Product details
Projects require many people’s involvement, but how do you avoid a situation where people are struggling against one another to do a task. Equally difficult is dealing with a situation where nobody will take ownership and make a decision. How do people know their level of responsibility? When they should involve you their project manager, or when they should exercise their personal judgment? The RACI model is a straightforward tool used for identifying roles and responsibilities and avoiding confusion over those roles and responsibilities during a project. The acronym RACI stands for – Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed. Without clearly defined roles and responsibilities, it is easy for projects to run into trouble. When people know what management expect of them, it is easier for them to complete their work on time, within budget and to the right level of quality. You need to go through the next six steps to build your RACI matrix. Identify all the tasks involved in delivering the project and list them on the left-hand side of the chart in completion order. Identify all the project roles and list them along the top of the chart. Complete the cells of the chart identifying who has the responsibility, the accountability and who will be consulted and informed for each task. Ensure every task has a role responsible and a role accountable for it. No tasks should have more than one role accountable. And the last thing to be sure to discuss and coordinate your RACI matrix with stakeholders before starting the project.
