Editing Responsibility assignment matrix (section)

=== RACI (alternative scheme) ===

:There is an alternative ''coding'', less widely published but used by some practitioners and process mapping software, which modifies the application of the ''R'' and ''A'' codes of the original scheme. The overall methodology remains the same but this alternative avoids potential confusion of the terms ''accountable'' and ''responsible'', which may be understood by management professionals but not always so clearly differentiated by others:

:; ''Responsible''
:: Those responsible for the performance of the task. There should be exactly one person with this assignment for each task.

:; ''Assists''
::Those who assist in the completion of the task

:; ''Consulted''
:: Those whose opinions are sought; and with whom there is two-way communication.

:; ''Informed''
:: Those who are kept up-to-date on progress; and with whom there is one-way communication.
