RASCI Chart

Author(s): Scott Bickley , Aadil Nanji , Melody Peng

A RASCI (Responsible, Accountable, Supported, Consulted, and Informed) chart is beneficial because it:

  • Allows stakeholders to clearly understand expectations
  • Reduces redundancy in tasks
  • Enables clear communication
  • Reduces time within approval processes
  • Allows stakeholders to focus more on value-add

RASCI diagrams are an effective way to describe how accountability and responsibility for particular roles, projects, and project tasks are distributed amongst stakeholders involved. A RASCI diagram is a useful visualization that identifies redundancies, and ensures that every role, project, or task has an accountable party.
