When do we use the RACI Chart?

A RACI chart serves just about every project well. But it's especially helpful when tasks require multiple resources, run concurrently, or depend on other tasks. Here are a few scenarios when a RACI chart comes in handy: The decision-making or approval process could hold up the project. There may be undefined/unclear accountabilities of individuals or departments involved throughout the project lifecycle:

• To avoid duplication of effort

• Work is not currently being accomplished

• Work is often delayed or incomplete

• Identify if there is inadequate communication and/or co-ordination

• If part of an approval/decision-making process is unclear

• If there are multiple decision points in a process it will aid clarity

• It helps to identify if tasks are being performed and decisions are  being made
at the wrong levels
