RACI Matrix Exercise

stakeholder/participant when multiple parties are involved in a project or business process.

Definition of Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed

Role Role Code Definition
Responsible R This role completes the actual work and owns the problem; this role is the “Doer.” There can be multiple R’s.
Accountable A This role approves the completed work and is held accountable for it. “The bucks stop here.” There should only be one
A.
Consulted C This role has information and/or capability to complete the work. This role is “in the loop” as two-way communication
occurs, usually between the “C” and the “R”. There can be multiple C’s.
Informed I This role is to be informed of progress and results. This role receives one-way communication, usually from the R. This
role is “kept in the picture” but is not involved in creating it.
