Hello all,
Does anyone have a good example of using a RACI matrix. I know that you would likely use this when you need to keep everyone in the loop
on the project and make sure that everyone is accountable. But, I'd like a more concrete scenario, if anyone has one.

Thx,

Raghunandan Kulkarni

RACI is what basically Responsible, Accountable, Consultant and Informed. It is one of diagram or table you can use to show who is working or who is responsible for piece of deliverable in your project. You develop this during planning where you will list down all your deliverables on one side and map stakeholder in respective column and share the updated one with all so that all of us are same page.

example - once project is started, following is deliverable and mapping what i can think of

                                                   Project Manager         Project Sponsor            Development team,        QA team        Business1 
Project plan                                          R     A                    I                                     C,I                            C,I                  I       
Requirement Document                          RA
Design document                                  R   A                                                             R,A

Hi ,
 
Please note that i am explaining the process, but  I wanted to make sure that my response is correct  if not, pl correct me. 
 
Also, answers should be relevant to question but I have written few extra which is for my learning/understanding.
 
This is part of Projct human resource management.
 
In HRM,  develop HR plan,acquire,develop & manage project team.
 
RACI - Responsible,Accountable, Consult and Inform , using RACI,  
When is RACI prepared?
While Develop the HR plan, need to define roles and responsbilities for each team members. sothat all team members will have clear understanding of their role/responsibility.
There are many formarts and all are falling under matrix, text and organisational format.
RAM is used to explain connection between work pacakges and team members. RACI is one type of RAM

 
Who prepares RACI?
Project manager prepares RACI

What would be impact if there is no RACI in place?
RACI is highly important if the team consists of internal and external resources to make sure that roles and responsibilities are well defined.
if not, there will be lot of confusion in case of small or large scale projects. team members may not know what to do and what not to do about their activities which eventually impact the deadline of the project and deliverables.   Team members should know about their defined/planned activity either   develop or design or test.
 
If all well defined, the Project manager will easily meet the deadline. If No RACI, there will be an impact on deliverables/planning and activities.
 
Regards,
Gnana.

RACI is especially important when the team of project has members
internal and external to the organization.
This helps in clear delineation of responsibilities .
