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
