RACI Template with Instructions

We provide a professional Excel Template for you to make a RACI matrix, also known as: 'Responsibility assignment matrix'.

The RACI matrix is a diagram which is used to describe the responsibilities of various roles in project tasks or deliverables. It's an abbreviation for: 

Responsible: Those who are responsible for the implementation of the task and achievement of the deliverable. There is commonly one role with a participation type of responsible, although others can be delegated to assist in the work that is required 

Accountable (also known as Final Approving Authority or Approver): There can only be one person who is ultimately accountable for the correct and thorough completion of each task or deliverable. The Accountable is the person who must sign off (Approve) on the work that the Responsible provides. Therefore, the Responsible is accountable to him/her.

Consulted (sometimes Counsel): Those whose opinions are required; and with whom there is two-way communication. 

Informed: those who are kept up-to-date about the decisions on the development, achievements of the task or deliverable; this is only one-way communication.
