RACI Chart in Project Management
A RACI chart clarifies who is responsible, accountable, consulted, and informed for project work, decisions, or deliverables. It is useful when ownership is unclear or too many people believe they approve the same decision.
This guide targets the RACI chart project management keyword cluster found in SEMrush research. It supports stakeholder management and governance pages by focusing on role clarity.
Key Takeaways
- RACI stands for Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed.
- Every important deliverable or decision should have one accountable owner.
- Too many consulted people can slow delivery.
- RACI works best when reviewed during kickoff and major governance checkpoints.
RACI Roles
| Role | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Responsible | Does the work |
| Accountable | Owns the outcome and final decision |
| Consulted | Gives input before the decision or work is complete |
| Informed | Needs updates after progress or decisions |
Use RACI for decisions and deliverables, not every tiny task.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Approve scope | R | A | C | C |
