PROJECT-MANAGEMENT

RACI matrix for website launch.

A RACI matrix clarifies who does work and who makes decisions on a project. R means responsible for completing the activity, A means accountable for the outcome, C means consulted before a decision, and I means informed after it. Start by listing the deliverables or decisions that need a clear owner, then assign roles rather than individual preferences. A useful RACI avoids multiple accountable owners for one activity and avoids putting every stakeholder in the consulted column. Review it with the people named in it, especially when project phases or team membership change. It is a practical agreement about work, not a substitute for the project plan.
