How to Construct a RACI Matrix

A responsibility assignment matrix, also referred to as a RACI matrix displays each team member involved in a project as well as their respective roles. RACI is an acronym for Responsible, Accountable, Contributing and Informed, making it easy to understand each participant’s level of involvement at a glance.

One way to make an assignment matrix even more simple and straightforward is to use color-coding. For instance, you might label responsible team members using red highlighting, mark accountable parties yellow and highlight contributing members green.
