Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM)

A grid that shows the project resources assigned to each work package or activity.

Definition

The most common format is RACI: Responsible (does the work), Accountable (single owner with final authority), Consulted (two-way input), and Informed (kept updated). There should be exactly one Accountable per task.

Example

For 'Deploy release', the DevOps lead is A, two engineers are R, security is C, and support is I.

Exam tip

Only one 'A' per row; multiple Rs are allowed.
