It allows you to keep track of who is owning certain element and who needs to be informed of key decisions. You allocate all tasks in line with the definitions listed below, allowing you to allocate levels of responsibility accordingly. There will always be an A (accountable) in each row of the RACI diagram as someone must be accountable for all tasks but this can be different to the person who is responsible and thus delivering the work.  \nDefinitions  \nResponsible: those who deliver the work.  \nAccountable: those who are ultimately accountable for the completion of the work and its sign off  \nConsulted: those who provide input and/or output as needed (two way conversation)  \nInformed: those who want to be kept up to date on the progress of a particular phase (one way conversation)  \nWhat is the benefit of a RACI?  \nThe key benefit of the RACI is to help set clear expectations around project roles and responsibilities therefore ensuring that you don’t have multiple people working on the same task at the same time.  \nIt also encourages people to take responsibility for content as ownership is public knowledge for the project team. It also means you can easily identify who owns what when looking for certain information, thus encouraging collaborative working.  \nFrom a Street Manager perspective, the RACI may look something like this:  \nR-Team member A-Project manager C- IT department I -Finance director  \nWhat does it look like?  \nA RACI can be easily created following three steps:  \n1. Enter all project roles/team members across the top row  \n2. List all of the key tasks/milestones/decisions down the first column  \n3. For each task, assign a responsibility value to each role/team member It will look something like the table below:","cbCaiswvvzGgbo5Q","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiswvvzGgbo5Q","pdf",89663,"English","# RACI\n## What is a RACI?\n## Definitions\n## Benefit of a RACI\n## Who should use a RACI?\n## What does it look like?\n## How to create a RACI","[{\"question\":\"What problem does a RACI help solve in a project?\",\"answer\":\"A RACI sets clear expectations about roles and responsibilities, preventing multiple people from working on the same task at the same time and making ownership easier to track.\"},{\"question\":\"What do Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed mean?\",\"answer\":\"Responsible delivers the work, Accountable is ultimately responsible for completion and sign-off, Consulted provides input through two-way conversation, and Informed is kept updated through one-way communication.\"},{\"question\":\"Who should use a RACI framework?\",\"answer\":\"Organisations with many people involved in planning and delivering the transition to Street Manager may benefit from using RACI to allocate responsibility.
