RACIansvarsfördelning

RACI is a responsibility assignment matrix used in project management and organizational structuring. The acronym RACI stands for Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed. Each letter represents a different level of involvement for a stakeholder in a task or deliverable. The "Responsible" party is the one who actually performs the work. The "Accountable" party is the one who is ultimately answerable for the correct and thorough completion of the deliverable or task, and they typically have the authority to approve the work done. There should only be one Accountable person per task. The "Consulted" parties are those whose opinions are sought and with whom there is two-way communication. Finally, the "Informed" parties are those who are kept up-to-date on progress or decisions, and with whom there is only one-way communication.

A RACI matrix is typically presented as a table where tasks are listed down one side and roles or individuals are listed across the top. Within the cells, the appropriate RACI letter is assigned to indicate the involvement of each role for each task. This visual representation helps to clarify roles and responsibilities, preventing confusion, duplication of effort, and tasks falling through the cracks. It is a useful tool for improving communication, ensuring accountability, and managing stakeholder expectations throughout a project lifecycle or within an ongoing operational process. Implementing a RACI chart requires careful consideration of each task and the necessary contributions from various team members or departments.
