Production RACI

The RACI framework is a tool used for clarifying roles and responsibilities within a project or organization. The acronym RACI stands for Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed. These four designations are used to define the level of involvement and responsibility for each person or group involved in a project.

All tasks must have a single person who is Responsible, and a single person who is Accountable. Sometimes that is the same person. Tasks can have any number of Consulted and Informed people, or none at all.

The people involved with tasks, projects, and even organizations can be categorized using this framework. This is helpful to know who is in charge and who needs to do what.

In our Production team, here are common types of work and the typical RACI assignments for each.

This chart outlines the RACI for typical design/dev work within the Production team. Obviously, for other kinds of work, other roles would hold responsibility.
