What Is a RACI Template?
A RACI template is a roles-and-responsibilities matrix that clarifies the team member involved in each individual task. Use a RACI template to provide project-task role clarification for project board members, team members, and other stakeholders.
A RACI template provides not only who is responsible (the person performing the project task), but also who is accountable for ensuring it’s completed, who has been consulted regarding the task, and who has been informed that someone is working on the task.
Reference this RACI definition list when deciding which letters to assign to team members for each project task:
- Responsible: Assign an R to the team member responsible for completing the task.
- Accountable: Assign an A to the individual accountable for ensuring the task is completed by the assignee.
- Consulted: Assign a C to the individual who has been consulted on the task.
- Informed: Assign an I to the person who has been informed that the task is underway.
Using a RACI roles and responsibilities template provides a straightforward view of who is responsible for completing tasks, along with who else is involved in the task and their respective roles.
While individual RACI templates may vary, most typically include the following components:
- Due Date: Set a due date to complete each project task, feature, or deliverable.
- Notes: Add any relevant notes related to RACI matrix roles and responsibilities for each project task, feature, or deliverable.
- Percentage Complete: Provide a percentage of completion for each task.
- Phase: Add the name of the project phase under which you will assign tasks on the matrix.
- Project Title: Write the name of your project to which you will apply RACI matrix attributes.
- Project Manager: Enter the name of the project manager responsible for ensuring task and project completion.
- RACI: Designate which team members or interdepartmental stakeholders are responsible, accountable, consulted, and informed for each task, per the RACI matrix.
- Status: Include the status for each project task so that team members and other stakeholders are aware of its progress and how close it is to completion.
- Task Description: Provide a brief summary for each task that must be successfully completed for the project.
