The article discusses the importance of RACI charts, a responsibility assignment matrix, for product teams to clarify roles and enhance collaboration. Originally a project management tool, RACI charts help in aligning team members by categorizing their roles into Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed. By clearly defining these roles, teams can better manage dependencies and expectations, ultimately leading to successful product outcomes. The article provides a step-by-step guide for creating RACI charts and addresses frequently asked questions about their application in product management contexts.
A RACI chart, or responsibility assignment matrix, is a tool that helps you communicate and clarify the roles and responsibilities of people working together.
In product management, RACI charts add support for alignment and communication in the product development process by breaking team members into four distinct categories.
Each task needs at least one responsible person, but can also have more. Only one accountable team member should be assigned per task.
RACI charts help analyze specific contexts to define a way of working and understand the responsibilities required to achieve desired product outcomes.
