Summary

Atlassian describes a RACI chart as a responsibility assignment matrix that clarifies who is responsible, accountable, consulted, and informed for project tasks or decisions. It emphasizes clearer communication, decision making, and accountability.

Relevant Findings

• Responsible parties do the work within agreed parameters.
• Accountable parties own the outcome and should generally be singular for a task or decision.
• Consulted parties provide input before work or decisions proceed.
• Informed parties need updates but are not expected to provide input.
• RACI helps expose bottlenecks, unclear ownership, and overloaded decision paths.

HELIX Usage

This resource informs the Stakeholder Map artifact. HELIX uses it to keep stakeholder mapping focused on decision rights, ownership, consultation, and communication paths.

Authority Boundary

This resource supports responsibility mapping. It does not replace stakeholder research, organizational authority, legal/compliance signoff, or project governance decisions.
