Project Management: RACI Matrix

"A two-dimensional table that lists tasks or deliverables as the row headings, and roles (or people’s names) as the column headings. The cell data contains the responsibility by task and by role (or person): R = Responsible; A = Accountable; C = Consulted; I = Informed." (Clyde M Creveling, "Six Sigma for Technical Processes: An Overview for R Executives, Technical Leaders, and Engineering Managers", 2006)

"A matrix used to describe classes of involved parties and their impact on a situation by role." (DAMA International, "The DAMA Dictionary of Data Management", 2011)

"A table used to document tasks and the personnel responsible for the assignments. RACI stands for responsible, accountable, consulted, and informed." (Weiss, "Auditing IT Infrastructures for Compliance" 2nd Ed., 2015)

"A matrix describing the participation by various roles in completing tasks or deliverables for a project or process. It is especially useful in clarifying roles and responsibilities. RACI is an acronym derived from the four key responsibilities most typically used: Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed." (ISTQB)
