RACI: Organisational Charts


AdaptivePPPM2.0 offers 6 types of RACI Charts/RACI Matrices which are organisational charts describing who is responsible, accountable, consulted and informed. These are also referred to as Responsibility Assignment Matrices (RAM). They are quick and simple to set-up and provide a significant time and cost-saving. Not only do they assign project responsibilities - they can be extended to inform all teams, cross-matrix, who provides what services in an organisation, whether a BI report, data or compliance request. The larger the firm, the harder it is for newcomers and junior staff to know relevant contact points.
