========================
RACI Matrix is useful for:
1. Work assignment – promotes workload leveling
2. Displays clear individual responsibilities
3. Workload analysis – quickly see individual work overloads
4. Conflict resolution – enables visual examination of work assignments and prevents conflicts
=========================
A Few Notes:
• Document and communicate all roles and responsibilities to the project team, stakeholders and project sponsor
• Someone must be responsible for each work assignment (horizontal)
• There should be only one (R) or one (A) in a cell. Use additional sub processes if necessary to split an activity between one or more (R)esponsible team members
• Push (A)ccountable down to the lowest level
• Minimize the number of people to be (C)consulted or (I)nformed& #8195;
RACI Matrix Analysis
Use the following to analyze the matrix:
Vertical Analysis (each column)
Many R’sWhy is the functional role responsible for so much?
No Empty SpacesWhy is the functional role involved in so many activities?
No R’s or A’sCan this functional role be eliminated?
Too Many A’sAre duties segregated?
Can the workload be shifted to other groups or individuals to balance workloads?
