Responsibility Allocation Matrix

Summary: RACI has it's place, but this Responsibility Allocation Matrix takes project responsibilities and commitments to a whole new level. Detailed and role-focused, it asks all project team members to consider their key project tasks, the inputs they need, and the outputs they expect to deliver, for a more complete look at the cross-functional dependencies in your plan.

This guideline will help you and your team ...

• Collect and share a high-level view of project responsibilities to show how team members and their responsibilities impact each other
• Identify cross-functional responsibilities within your team
• Help team members indicate what inputs they depend on, and what outputs they are responsible for delivering to others

What you get:

• Instructions for using the matrix
• Blank Responsiblity Allocation Matrix for core and extended team
• RAM example with sample data
