A RACI chart is a matrix used to assign roles and responsibilities for milestones of a project. Mapping out ownership eliminates the confusion of “who’s doing what?”
Responsible: The team member owning completion.
Accountable: The team member who validates the deliverable before it’s deemed complete.
Consulted: The people who provide input; usually have domain expertise.
Informed: The people who are kept in the loop of project progress.
