Responsibility charting The RACI technique has been designed to identify

functional areas, key activities and provides management with decision points where ambiguities exist.

The approach enables management to actively participate in the process of systematically describing: - activities - decisions to be accomplished - clarity of responsibilities

RACI Overview

•  The purpose of the RACI process is to answer the following questions . . .

•  What functions, activities, and tasks must be performed •  Who must perform them and what is their level of involvement

•  RACI is a highly participative process that ensures ownership of the responsibilities
