RACI
In MAC we use model named RACI to assign tasks and
contgrol executin, RACI model describes the participation by
various roles in completing tasks or deliverables for a
project or business process. It is especially useful in
clarifying roles and responsibilities in
cross-functional/departmental projects and processes
Responsible
Those who do the work to achieve the task.[7] There is at
least one role with a participation type of responsible,
although others can be delegated to assist in the work
required (see also RASCI below for separately identifying
those who participate in a supporting role).
Accountable (also Approver or final approving authority)
The one ultimately answerable for the correct and thorough
completion of the deliverable or task, and the one who
delegates the work to those responsible.[7] In other words, an
accountable must sign off (approve) work that responsible
provides. There must be only one accountable specified for
each task or deliverable.[4]
Consulted
Those whose opinions are sought, typically subject matter
experts; and with whom there is two-way communication.[7]
Informed (also Informee)
Those who are kept up-to-date on progress, often only on
completion of the task or deliverable; and with whom there is
just one-way communication.[7]
Very often the role that is accountable for a task or
deliverable may also be responsible for completing it
(indicated on the matrix by the task or deliverable having a
role accountable for it, but no role responsible for its
completion, i.e. it is implied). Outside of this exception, it
is generally recommended that each role in the project or
process for each task receive, at most, just one of the
participation types. Where more than one participation type is
shown, this generally implies that participation has not yet
been fully resolved, which can impede the value of this
technique in clarifying the participation of each role on each
task.
Role distinction
There is a distinction between a role and individually
identified people: a role is a descriptor of an associated set
of tasks; may be performed by many people; and one person can
perform many roles. For example, an organization may have ten
people who can perform the role of project manager, although
traditionally each project only has one project manager at any
one time; and a person who is able to perform the role of
project manager may also be able to perform the role of
business analyst and tester.
