How to use a RACI matrix

A RACI matrix answers the question that sinks most projects: who actually owns this? Each task gets one Accountable person, one or more Responsible doers, plus anyone Consulted or Informed.

  • One A per row — exactly one person is accountable for each task.
  • R does the work — responsible roles carry it out.
  • Keep columns few — 4–7 roles keeps the matrix readable.

Frequently asked questions

What is a RACI matrix?
A RACI matrix maps who does what on a project. For each task, every role is marked Responsible (does the work), Accountable (owns the outcome), Consulted (gives input), or Informed (kept in the loop).
What do R, A, C, and I stand for?
Responsible — the person doing the work. Accountable — the single person answerable for it. Consulted — people whose input is sought. Informed — people kept up to date. There should be exactly one Accountable per task.
Why use a RACI matrix?
It prevents the two classic project failures: tasks with no clear owner, and tasks with several people who each assume someone else has it. RACI makes ownership explicit.
How many roles should a RACI matrix have?
Keep it focused — usually 4–7 roles. Too many columns and the matrix becomes noise rather than clarity.
