Guide to the RACI Workbook
Introduction
A key component to building an effective and efficient project team is the early establishment of expectations for
each member of the team. To that end, documents and processes that define roles and responsibilities are critical
project planning deliverables. This worksheet serves to define roles and deliverables, documents which individuals
will play which roles, and describes all the roles who will be involved in each task (doing the work, reviewing the
results, approving the deliverable, etc.).
What is RACI?
Different organizations may use different variations of the acronym; for projects at UC Davis, the standard version is
RACI. Each part of the acronym is described below:
Responsible
The person who is assigned to do the work.
The person who makes the final decision and has ultimate ownership.
Accountable
Consulted
Informed
The person who must be consulted before a decision or action is taken.
The person who must be informed that a decision or action has been taken.
RACI Matrix
Accountability: The Project Manager is responsible for reviewing roles and responsibilities with the project team.
The people assigned to each role must review their own assignments and indicate agreement with the role and the
associated responsibilities.
Timing: Roles and Responsibilities should be completed in Planning and updated during Execution: Design. They
typically remain fairly static unless new tasks/activities are added, or resources change.
Reference: Definitions for each role, and background information for each deliverable (activity or work product) are
available on separate tabs within the RACI Workbook.
Instructions:
Use the UC Davis standard RACI template as a starting point. Values in the matrix should stay fairly static
and serve as a guide.
Add, modify or eliminate roles and/or activities as appropriate to your project.
For each role that your project will require, record at least one name in the Role Description tab, unless the
role has not yet been filled. There may be multiple people playing one role, and/or multiple roles assigned to
one person.
If it is determined that the RACI needs customization for your project - On the first pass, assign one and only one A role for each deliverable.
- Assign highest level value for each role/task combination: typically the order would be R, A, C, I.
Review the responsibilities assigned to each role with the person or group assigned to that role, and
obtain their agreement.
Update the Roles & Responsibilities pages of the Project Management Plan, based on your RACI work, for
review during the project kickoff.
Publish this workbook on the project site.
Role Description
Lists all the key project management roles and corresponding responsibilities.
Identifies who is responsible (R) and accountability (A) for each key work product.
There is a column to add the actual resource that will fill each role.
The list can be reduced to reflect only the roles that are key for your project. This list of key project roles will need
to be documented on the Project Management Plan (PMP) as well.
Deliverable Matrix
Lists all the key artifacts with a description of each artifact.
Identifies the owner of the artifact. This information does not change.
Identifies whether the process or artifact is required for the various size projects (High, Medium, Low, Mini).
Highlight those processes and artifacts that are applicable to your project.
Deviations to the standards should be documented in the text box at the bottom of the sheet.
This document does not require input from the user (other than highlighting the applicable processes and artifacts
and/or identifying any exceptions.
