RACI is a great way in identifying where and organization may have too little, or too many staff in one specific area. When you have to consult 20 people for one person to be responsible to actually do the work, it can be frustrating.
I have created a RACI for a PMO department and used one as a project manager but this was an excellent explanation of how a RACI works and its purpose.
This is a great, simple way to help your project run more efficiently. If you've ever been in a project that is struggling with communication, a simple RACI diagram will more than likely show where the problem lies. If clear roles are not defined and made aware by all team members, information is either being told repeatedly to several different people, who don't always need to know, or the people who need to know don't receive the right information. Using a RACI diagram can clear many of these issues up very quickly
This is a great video a lot of companies need to watch. At times, workers keep getting responsibilities and have undefined roles. The example of the mom was great. Moms really do have some of the most undefined roles.
Most women want responsibility without accountability. They want the responsibility of handling finances, but don't want to be accountable for the negative consequences of overspending. Hope that clarifies.
Video clearly explains the importance of clear roles and the difference between responsibility and accountability. The RACI diagram provides an easy way for improvement teams to collaborate on task and roll analysis and quickly identify where an abundance of consultative or responsible tasks exist and where more than one accountable person exists for a task.
This is a useful tool and will ensure any project I lead has the appropriate amount of contributors in their right roles. I have been apart of too many initiatives where the roles weren't clearly defined or too many people owned the project therefore things were left undone due to conflict or the project was done only to have to circle back and redo specific things.
RACI charts are simple, logical and efficient means to track team/individual responsibility. In my experience I have found that the key for a good RACI is clear articulation of both tasks and roles. Tasks have to be SMART while roles have to be well defined. Any gray zones (very common in real life) in either tasks or roles will create inefficiencies and have to be addressed quickly.
This video has a very simple explanation of the RACI matrix and how to implement it! My favorite part was to realize that you cannot have more or less, than one accountable, which makes sense as you want someone "driving".
Recently, I created a RACI to identify where ownership lies for a project. There were individuals who believed that they did not have involvement. After RACI was created, it showed clear distinction who was responsible and accountable for specific processes etc. Pretty eye opening and helped the management team make a quick and easy decision as to what direction to go with managing the project.
I have use the RACI matric a lot. When I am doing an event this help me know who do what and who I can ask for inputs. I am usually Accountable for the project and must get inform after a task is completed. The RACI matrix also let me know if I have a waste. For an example if I have to many people in the responsible role that shows me we don't need as many people to that task and we have a waste of human resources which is a waste of money.
"There is a place for Racy in everyone's world" I have faced the situation where the role description doesn't express the real duties of the job and the problem is that sometimes the people who write the role description (human resources) don't know the real activities, and the accountable people are usually really bussy.
This is my first exposure to RACI. I can see how it can be used to clarify a great deal within any organization and in my experience should be used MUCH more often than I have seen it. It should be something that more roles within an organization are exposed to, as well. I think that people would be interested to see what would contribute to something like that.
RACI is a great tool for Project Managers which makes it easy to visually see any over/under allocation of resources especially for R-Responsible and A-Accountable. Although C ad I are also very important, R&A are getting most of the work done and proper management of these resources is very critical in a project.
When my organization creates a new position, no matter the level, both the employee and management often struggle with the expectations of the role. Sometimes it's because the responsibilities are not clear, other times it may not be clear who is accountable for the employee's responsibilities because they don't fall under established categories. This simple exercise will help my org sort some of this out.
Easy way to understand how a task can flow efficiently by knowing who accountable and decision maker is (can’t be relegated), who responsible and performer is, who consulted is (for feedback) and finally who informed is (for reference - no necessary involved)
The video provided a great explanation of RACI. It's very confusing sometimes figuring out who is responsible and who is accountable. Have a better understanding of the basic guidelines.
Love R.A.C.I., in order to control misunderstandings or lessen confusion, this chart helps define better. A good organisation can only have one "A". I have seen the confusion lead to inconsistency in product quality and customer dissatisfaction.
I think this is a great tool to use to keep people accountable for their part in a project.This is will be helpful during organization change when companies are trying no process and systems.
Accountable-decision maker; responsible -do;consulted-gain information from; informed-keep them in the know- too many people involved in specific roles will create conflict and slow process!
The RACI method is a helpful tool to identify who does what for a task, or process. I agree that there is a thing as having too many cooks in the kitchen so there shouldn't be too many or too less Rs, As, Cs, or Is for a task.
I can see how this could help any size organization. Many times roles and responsibilities get confused and either too many people are doing 1 task or no one is doing it because they thinks its someone else responsibility.
I like how the video breaks down each scenario if there are too many or no Accountables or Responsibles. Collaborating in the beginning and clearly identifying each task and persons role can make the process more efficient/successful.
Fantastic, the best way to show the RACI in ordinary tasks first. Congrats every one involved in this job and yours roles: A,R,C,I; that producted this video. Lindon
This is such a simple concept yet it is so useful when starting project. It is such a efficient way to distribute roles when starting a project. When you define what needs to be done and who needs to do it, that is when work gets done
When I was first introduced to "RACI" at a former company, I thought it was a powerful tool, which all companies should use. This eliminates a lot of the time wasted on the blame game that would start when a task is not completed. Why wasn't something completed? Well, at which responsibility did the activity stop? Was someone not aware of their role? Typically Project Managers should discuss who gets which roles and responsibilities with all the team members involved at the same time, so that everyone is in agreement when the meeting has ended.
I can see how this would be a helpful tool to map out how people are involved ahead of time and have a document to return to in order to become clear of responsibilities become confused.
defining roles and responsibilities to ensure everyone understand who is responsible, accountable, consulted and informed for the execution of every task within a project
This does fit in all aspects from work to home. This is just an organization chart holding people responsible by having someone who will follow up on the tasks.
This takes a little getting used to - I usually think of accountable and responsible as synonyms. I'm afraid to perform this exercise with my family - I'd end up being responsible and accountable for a lot more tasks than I am currently!
Pretty easy explanation, I particularly liked the latter half that applied the current RACI designations and what scenarios to look out for, such as having too many Cs (info paralysis), more than one A per task (not allowed), or having no R at all for a task. Seems obvious to get everything down on paper, but if no Rs in a row, then that task or work isn't going to get done! whoa...mind blown! :-p
Great video. I never thought about the difference between Responsible and Accountable; it was an aha moment, and it will be a great conversation with my coworkers that seem to be running around all day playing the four roles: Responsible, Accountable, Consulting and Informing without a structure.
Seriously you need a document to tell you about responsible and accountable. This can be fixed in much more powerful, productive and enjoyable ways than a bloody RACI.
Loved the delivery and straight to the point presentation. I think the process of creating this diagram can be much more involved but I like the fact this was left out.
Great video! This was the first time it was clearly explained how RACIs should be refined to improve efficiency. I’ve mostly thought of this deliverable as a tool to capture current or to-be states. Used this way, RACI can show unbalanced responsibility loads even before the individual tasks assignments are made in the project schedule.
I know im asking randomly but does anybody know a way to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot the password. I love any help you can offer me
@Stanley Reyansh Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Hi Lea, appreciate your comment, this was more "stereotyping" and meant to create a bit of controversy, I do not see either task as unequal, I've been the fence repairer and the house manager. Glad you enjoyed, all done with the best of intent.
Nice video explaining how implemting a RACI chart can lead to a more productive work and/or home. I really like how it can make each persons contribution to the task transparent and well defined.
Most women want responsibility without accountability. They want the responsibility of handling finances, but don't want to be accountable for the negative consequences of overspending. Hope that clarifies.
It's a great communication tool and reduces miscommunication. It also highlights workloads and can identify areas that need to be involved in a project.
The RACI model is a great visualization tool for analyzing both the completeness and the effectiveness of a function. Often the person accountable for a task or activity may require discussion to reach agreement. Does the project manager have to be accountable for all tasks, or perhaps some of the accountability can be delegated.
This video provides a clear look into a simple, yet powerful tool. RACI can help organizations of all size reduce ambiguity while increasing accountability at every level. RACI also provides an easy way to streamline and standardize processes. RACI can help identify which lines of communication need to be improved or established to effectively complete a project.
The name RACI is new to me but not the concept...plan to use in next nonprofit role I am engaged in to help define roles, responsibilities to adequately balance engagement .
This concept seems to be a rather simple one, but one that is easily overlooked. However, it seems like it would be a very useful tool when some time was spent on it and laid out so everyone is on the same page and understanding. It could help eliminate or minimize a number of the 8 wastes.
A good overview on the use of the RACI model in project management to help define the interaction between tasks and roles. It can be applied to both families as well as to large companies. Nice cartoon drawing !
C - team members you're getting input from. e.g. asking kids what they want to add to the shopping list. yet, this group should not include too many members, imagine organizing entertainment or food menu for the Xmas party. if consulting too many people, paralysis by analysis - you will never get to final decision.
Thank you! My metaphorical hat goes off to you. Fun, simple, informative, and you even had a practical example to show this! Sure beats my boring and dry textbook! =)
Thank you for the explanation of the differences between Accountable, Responsible, Consulted, and Informed. I agree with Lea that the example used was gender stereotyped. It was extra information that was unnecessary.
I loved this video until about 00:56. If the creator would remove what could be perceived as a racially insensitive graphic, I would love to use this in my classroom....

Unknowingly we all have worked on RACI in past. But this video explains the terminology and model properly.

Very effective way of helping establish tasks for employees without having to worry about placing too much of a burden on a single person.

Tasks have to be SMART while roles have to be well defined. Any gray zones (very common in real life) in either tasks or roles will create inefficiencies and have to be addressed quickly.
I like the example using household duties. Really helps crystallize the concept!

This is a great way to divide work load equally. Also it shows you who is actually working hard and who is actually just walking around.

That was probably the easiest and cleanest explanation of this chart. I could see this being used at the beginning of a small project
I really like the split out of Responsibility vs. Accountability. Dividing who the Delegate of Responsibilities.
RACI helps clarify who does what on a project, for instance. A good RACI will help prevent unnecessary wastes in the workplace or home.
Accountable-decision maker; responsible -do;consulted-gain information from; informed-keep them in the know- too many people involved in specific roles will create conflict and slow process!
What a great tool to simply what is being done and by whom. It also shows who else needs to be involved and at what level of involvement.
The RACI method is a helpful tool to identify who does what for a task, or process. I agree that there is a thing as having too many cooks in the kitchen so there shouldn't be too many or too less Rs, As, Cs, or Is for a task.
This is a great explanation. Better than reading the book. I haven't quite made the connection with the Agile process yet.

A good demonstration of RACI (it can be used with a family of four to a company with thousands of employees).
This takes a little getting used to - I usually think of accountable and responsible as synonyms.
I'm afraid to perform this exercise with my family - I'd end up being responsible and accountable for a lot more tasks than I am currently!

Great video. Makes RACI very easy to understand using everyday examples.
Wonderful presentation thank you for explaining it well. God bless you!
Beautifully explained with very simple example. Thank you very much

Thank you so much you really help me out!
@Bishop Quentin you are welcome =)
Makes sense, the hardest part of this I believe would be to hold everyone accountable. Especially if they are coworkers and not employees.
you should not, but managers and leaders are typically the accountable ones.
Hi Lea, appreciate your comment, this was more "stereotyping" and meant to create a bit of controversy, I do not see either task as unequal, I've been the fence repairer and the house manager. Glad you enjoyed, all done with the best of intent.
This would be an eye opening exercise to go through in some cases.

Awesome video. This video doesn't feel like I'm being lectured and gets straight to the point. Also love the artistic drawing.
Simplicity rules! It's easy to get confused with accountable and responsible (for me anyway). This clears it up nicely, using a simple example.
Most women want responsibility without accountability. They want the responsibility of handling finances, but don't want to be accountable for the negative consequences of overspending. Hope that clarifies.
It's a great communication tool and reduces miscommunication. It also highlights workloads and can identify areas that need to be involved in a project.
I agree with Coe! It is a simple tool, but I can already imagine how it could be useful in the workplace.
RACI chart will define clear and precise roles so there is no overlapping of duties.
The RACI model is a great visualization tool for analyzing both the completeness and the effectiveness of a function. Often the person accountable for a task or activity may require discussion to reach agreement. Does the project manager have to be accountable for all tasks, or perhaps some of the accountability can be delegated.
A nice way to make clear to everyone who has what roll.
Great explanation and breakdown of what RACI is and how it is broken down.
I am looking forward to trying this at my company! This looks like it would be a very effective tool.
Interesting way to define roles & responsibilities ... may even find one is trying to do too much
Very easy to understand and I love the chore chart example as this is something that causes a lot of stress in our house.
2:13 taking a moment to appreciate the example👏👏👏

This concept will be implemented in my home starting this weekend... After I get my certification!!!

easy way to understand how a task can flow efficiently by knowing who accountable and decision maker
RACI is classic project management tool that fits nicely with Lean Six Sigma's need to identify stakeholders and their degree of task ownership
I can definitely see benefits to using RACI in my projects.
Amazing how such a simple tool can be so effective
Very interesting method to structuring tasks and communication.
Best exemple ever has the family one. Very good.
A good overview on the use of the RACI model in project management to help define the interaction between tasks and roles. It can be applied to both families as well as to large companies. Nice cartoon drawing !
Such a simple, yet very effective exercise to understand roles for tasks, agree on them and document them.
Simple explanation, it's easy to understand!
Excellently described. Thank you.
You just saved me from sounding dumb at work.
Dear Friends, I have a question: Can I create RACI matrix on my company value chain?.
Great and very simple explanation that can be understood by layman. Thanks!
Simple and clear explanation however that annoying music in the background.
This is a great video, thanks.
Great Video! Thank you for educating us.
excellent narrative
Hi, thanks for this great video. But I didn't get the Consulted part completely, could you please give me a simple example? Thanks in advance 🙏
C - team members you're getting input from. e.g. asking kids what they want to add to the shopping list. yet, this group should not include too many members, imagine organizing entertainment or food menu for the Xmas party. if consulting too many people, paralysis by analysis - you will never get to final decision.
Amazing video.
This will be very helpful in implementing the beginnings of a project!

Mike Catanzaro Here's one for you: you shouldnt use RACI, because it's racist. You know... RACIst.
+Mike Catanzaro I really hope you're joking. If so, thanks for the laugh!
Excellent overview, thanks. Added to my channel and subscribed!
Makes sense. Reminds me of a saying about Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. Too many Rs and C's and nothing will get done.
Very nice presentation
Very useful and clear video! Thanks a lot! It makes me get the idea in a faster and easier way! Just suscribed to your channel.
Best Wishes!
