RACI Matrix

– Project PASS PMP


Purpose

This matrix defines who does what across major deliverables and management processes.
The RACI model clarifies the distinction between:

  • R – Responsible: Performs the task or activity
  • A – Accountable: Owns the outcome and approves completion
  • C – Consulted: Provides input or subject matter expertise
  • I – Informed: Receives updates or notifications

This helps prevent confusion, overlapping roles, and missed accountability checkpoints.
