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.
