## Details

## Overview

The RACI Matrix is a system used to assign and clarify roles within projects or processes, helping teams avoid confusion about who is doing what.

## The Four Roles

- **Responsible** - The person(s) who performs the work to complete the task
- **Accountable** - The one person who is ultimately answerable for the outcome; the decision-maker
- **Consulted** - People whose opinions are sought; two-way communication is required
- **Informed** - People who are kept up-to-date on progress; one-way communication

## Benefits for Time Management

By clearly determining roles upfront, teams reduce time wasted on duplicated efforts, gaps in responsibility, and unnecessary meetings or communications.
