Felelsségmátrixok, often translated as responsibility matrices or accountability charts, are tools used in project management and organizational design to clarify roles and responsibilities within a team or for a specific task. They help to ensure that everyone understands who is responsible for what, preventing confusion and improving efficiency. The most common type of responsibility matrix is the RACI chart. RACI is an acronym derived from the four key roles: Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed.

The 'Responsible' role signifies those who do the work to complete the task. There can be multiple 'Responsible' individuals. The 'Accountable' role is the single individual who has the ultimate authority for the task's completion and approves the work done by the 'Responsible' parties. The 'Consulted' role involves individuals whose input is needed before a decision or action can be taken; this is a two-way communication. Finally, the 'Informed' role refers to those who need to be kept up-to-date on the progress or decisions, but their input is not required; this is a one-way communication.

Responsibility matrices are typically presented in a tabular format, with tasks or deliverables listed on one axis and individuals or roles listed on the other. The intersection of a task and an individual indicates the specific role that person has for that task, using the RACI designations. These matrices are valuable for improving communication, streamlining workflows, and ensuring clear ownership of tasks, ultimately contributing to successful project execution and operational clarity within an organization. They are particularly useful in complex projects with many stakeholders or when multiple teams need to collaborate.
