RACI Matrix

Decision-rights matrix for a project, programme, or recurring process — one cell, one letter, no ambiguity.

When to use this

Tasks down, roles across. Every row has exactly one A (Accountable). R (Responsible), C (Consulted), I (Informed) can repeat. If you have two As on a row, the row needs splitting.

What’s included

  • Conventions
  • Review cadence

What to customise before you use it

  • Replace Project / Process Name with your real meeting, project, or stakeholder details.
  • Replace Task with your real meeting, project, or stakeholder details.

The template

# RACI Matrix — [Project / Process Name]

R = Responsible · A = Accountable (one only) · C = Consulted · I = Informed

| Task / decision | Sponsor | Owner | Lead | SME | Finance | Comms |
|------------------|---------|-------|------|-----|---------|-------|
| [Task]           | A       | R     | C    | C   | I       |       |
| [Task]           | I       | A     | R    | C   |         | I     |
| [Task]           |         | A     | R    |     | C       | I     |

## Conventions
- Exactly one **A** per row
- **R** is the doer (may be the same person as A on small tasks)
- **C** = consulted before the decision; **I** = informed after
- Empty cell = no involvement (deliberate)

## Review cadence
This matrix is reviewed at every steering meeting and updated when a role or owner changes.
