RACI Matrix: Project Management Tool
A RACI matrix, also called a RACI chart, is a type of responsibility assignment matrix (RAM) in project management. In practice, it’s a simple spreadsheet or table that lists all stakeholders on a project and their level involvement in each task, denoted with the letters R, A, C or I. Once these roles are defined, assignments can be attributed to the roles and work can begin.

What are the RACI Roles?
The RACI matrix roles highlight the level at which a stakeholder or team member is involved with a particular task.
- Responsible: A manager or team member who is directly responsible for successfully completing a project task.
- Accountable: The person with final authority over the successful completion of the specific task or deliverable.
- Consulted: Someone with unique insights the team will consult.
- Informed: A client or executive who isn’t directly involved, but you should keep up to speed.

When To Use And Avoid
Use the RACI matrix for:
- Large-scale projects with clear-cut deliverables or workgroups
- Organizations that have static roles and responsibilities
- Projects with a wide variety of stakeholders for different aspects
- Projects spanning multiple departments
- Projects in highly regulated industries
Don’t use the RACI matrix for:
- Small, single-department projects — it’s likely not necessary
- Teams working with an Agile framework like Scrum
