Roles and responsibilities

Once you have your plan in place you need to start thinking about the different roles and responsibilities that are needed for your team to be successful.  

You can do this through using the RACI model.  

RESPONSIBLE

This is the person who carries out the process or task assignment and are the one’s held responsible in getting the job done. 

ACCOUNTABLE

This person is ultimately accountable for the process or task being completed appropriately meaning that the responsible person is accountable to this person. 

CONSULTED

These individuals are not directly involved with carrying out the task but instead are consulted. This could be someone such as a stakeholder or a subject matter expert who can add value to the conversation. 

INFORMED

These are the people who receive output from the process or task and therefore need to continually stay informed.
