What Is It?
Imagine a project where nobody knows their role—confusion, missed deadlines, and endless meetings. Enter the RACI Matrix, a simple yet powerful framework that clearly defines team roles to avoid chaos.
RACI stands for:
✔ Responsible – The person who does the work.
✔ Accountable – The final decision-maker, ensuring completion.
✔ Consulted – The experts providing input.
✔ Informed – Those kept in the loop but not actively involved.
Real-Life Example
A website redesign project:
- The developer is Responsible for coding the new layout.
- The project manager is Accountable for delivering the site on time.
- The marketing team is Consulted to ensure branding consistency.
- The executive team is Informed about key progress updates.
Why It Matters?
✅ Prevents role confusion by clarifying responsibilities.
✅ Reduces bottlenecks by assigning decision-making authority.
✅ Enhances accountability by ensuring every task has a clear owner.
