The RACI
model is a straightforward tool that can be used for identifying roles and
responsibilities to make the processes happen. RACI is an abbreviation of:
R |
= |
Responsible - owns the problem /
project |
A |
= |
To whom "R" is
Accountable - who must sign off (Approve) on work before it is effective
and who are ultimately accountable for the correct and thorough completion
of the deliverable |
C |
= |
To be Consulted
- has information and/or capability necessary to complete the
work |
I |
= |
To be Informed
- must be notified of results, but need not be
consulted |
It can
be useful to add the concept of Sponsor or Supportive:
S |
= |
Can be Sponsor or Supportive - can provide resources or play a
supporting role in implementation |
Gentlemen,
Please, I´m not sure I have the correct understanding for these two
concepts.
1)
What
owner means and what responsible means.
2)
Are
they synonyms?
3)
Is
responsible the role that executes the work?
4)
What
is the relation with the idea of accountable (RACI
concept)?
I´d be glad if you can point me some references in order to better understand
it.
Thank
you,
Maciel
