Responsibility Chart Index Matrix

(RACI)

Presented by M.Shahryar khan


Introduction

 Projects and business processes may be broken down into tasks and
deliverables using a "responsibility assignment matrix" (RAM), also
known as RACI matrix or linear responsibility chart (LRC). RACI is an
abbreviation that stands for "responsible, accountable, consulted, and
informed," the four most often employed roles. Roles and
responsibilities in cross-functional and departmental initiatives and
procedures are clarified and defined using this technique. The RACI
model may be replaced by a number of others.
 The RACI matrix is a responsibility-assignment chart that shows which
roles are responsible for each activity, who is accountable, and who
should be consulted or informed for a project's successful completion.
 If you would like to explicitly communicate on a project, a RACI chart
can help with that. A RACI chart organizes your project so that everyone
knows what’s happening. With RACI, map out who is Responsible, is
Accountable, must be Consulted with, and shall stay Informed.
Key responsibility roles in RACI model

 There is a difference between roles and individuals: roles are


descriptors of an associated set of duties; they may be done by
numerous persons; and one person can undertake multiple roles at
the same time. Traditionally just one project manager is assigned to a
project, however in today's world an organisation may have 10
individuals who can manage projects, and a project manager may
also be able to serve as a business analyst and a tester.
R = Responsible 

 The people who put forth the effort to finish the job. Although others
may be allocated to help in the job, there is at least one function with
a participation type of responsible
 The person who has the charge to complete the given task.
A = Accountable 

 To guarantee that a deliverable or job has been completed correctly


and thoroughly; to ensure that the requirements of a task have been
fulfilled; and to assign work to those who are accountable. To put it
another way, a responsible must have an accountable sign off on
their job. Each deliverable or job must be assigned to a single person.
 Person who is making decisions and taking actions on the task(s)
C = Consulted 

 Sceptics often look for people who know a lot about the subject

they're interested in. They can talk to them in both directions.

 Person who will be communicated with regarding the decision-making

process and specific tasks


I = Informed 

 One-way communicators are people who only find out about progress

when a job or project is done.

 Person who will be updated on decisions and actions during the

project
 You can see this in the matrix, where it says that the task or
deliverable has a role that is in charge of it but no role that is in
charge of its completion. This means that the task or deliverable has
a role that is in charge of it but no role that is in charge of its
completion. Every person who works on a project or process should
only have one type of participation at a time. Outside of this
exception, there may be more than one type of involvement, which
means that the technique can't show how each function helps with a
certain activity.
Assigning people to facilities

 For the left-hand column, the tasks or deliverables are often taken

from a work breakdown structure, whereas for the top row, roles are

taken from a product breakdown structure (from an organisational

chart).
RACI (alternative scheme)

 In addition to the R and A codes of the original system, there is an


alternate coding that is less commonly publicised but utilised by
certain practitioners and process mapping software. The general
approach stays the same, but this version removes the possibility of
misunderstanding between the phrases accountable and responsible,
which management specialists may understand but may not be so
clearly separated by others.
Responsible

 Individuals tasked with the execution of a certain duty. For each work,
there should only be one assigned individual.
 Authorized to approve an answer to the decision.
Assists

 Those that provide a hand in the project's completion


 Responsible to recommend an answer to the decision.
Consulted

 Someone whose input is requested and who can converse back and
forth with you.
 Those whose opinions are sought, and with whom there is two-way
communication.
Informed

 One-way contact with those who are kept in the loop about what's
happening.
 Those who are informed after the decision is made, and with whom
there is one-way communication.
Is RACI outdated?

 RACI charts are not only out-of-date, but they also perpetuate bad
organisational habits. Don't use RACI charts for agility, engagement
or even creativity if you desire these outcomes!
 One thing high-performance teams do well is distribute authority —
they have a clear system that specifies how decisions are made, and
it enables the team to move quickly.
Is RACI anti agile?

 RACI isn't necessary for agile teams since everyone on the team is
responsible for the project's outcomes. This may be done when the
Agile team is small enough to huddle everyday and is situated in the
same place. RACI is not usually required.
 RACI stands for Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed. So
the best RACI for Scrum that I could come up with is. R = Product
Owner, Development Team, Scrum Master, Stakeholder. A = Product
Owner, Development Team, Scrum Master, Stakeholder.
