What RACI meansRACI rules
8
R — Responsible: the person who does the work. Every task must have at least one R.Every task must have exactly one A (Accountable). Multiple = nobody is really accountable.
9
A — Accountable: the person who owns the outcome and is answerable if it fails. Exactly one per task.Every task must have at least one R (Responsible). If nobody owns the doing, nothing gets done.
10
C — Consulted: people whose input is needed before the task is complete. Two-way communication.Too many C and I = bureaucracy. Keep them lean — only people who genuinely need to be involved.
11
I — Informed: people who need to know the outcome. One-way communication, after the fact.If someone is both R and A, that is fine. It means they own and do the work.

How to fill it inWhat to do with the results
14
1. List all tasks or deliverables in column B (rows).Tasks with no A: assign one immediately. This is a governance gap.
15
2. List all roles or team members as column headers.Tasks with multiple A: clarify who is the single accountable person.
16
3. For each cell: enter R, A, C, or I (or leave blank = not involved).People with too many Rs in a sprint: reshuffle responsibilities or adjust scope.
17
4. Review each row: exactly 1 A? At least 1 R?People with only I: check if they need to be in the matrix at all.
18
5. Review each column: is anyone overloaded with R entries?
