RACI matrix
Who does what
one A per row, alwaysReading the letters
R, Responsible. Does the work. A row can have more than one.
A, Accountable. Owns the outcome and signs off. Exactly one per row; two As is how things fall between chairs.
C, Consulted. Gives input before, two-way.
I, Informed. Told after, one-way. If everyone is C, meetings multiply; most people should be I.
Use role titles, not names, in the header fields. People change; the matrix should survive them. Include decisions and approvals as rows, not just activities.
Type your role titles in the header and they label the columns in your head as you fill the grid. Everything saves in this browser only.
