## RACI Matrix

**RACI Definitions:**
- **R = Responsible**: Does the work
- **A = Accountable**: Ultimately answerable (ONE person only)
- **C = Consulted**: Provides input before work
- **I = Informed**: Kept updated on progress

**RACI Matrix Template:**
```
┌──────────────────────┬────────┬────────┬────────┬────────┬────────┐
│ Task/Deliverable     │ Lead   │ PM     │ Eng    │ Design │ Exec   │
├──────────────────────┼────────┼────────┼────────┼────────┼────────┤
│ Technical Decisions  │ A/R    │ C      │ C      │ I      │ I      │
│ Timeline Management  │ C      │ A/R    │ I      │ I      │ I      │
│ Design Approvals     │ C      │ I      │ C      │ A/R    │ I      │
│ Budget Decisions     │ C      │ C      │ I      │ I      │ A/R    │
│ Resource Allocation  │ C      │ A/R    │ I      │ I      │ C      │
└──────────────────────┴────────┴────────┴────────┴────────┴────────┘
```

**RACI Best Practices:**
- Only ONE person should be Accountable per row
- Same person can be both R and A for smaller teams
- Limit Consulted roles to avoid bottlenecks
- Review with team before finalizing
