Build a RACI matrix for this project or process.
Inputs:
- Project or process name: {{name}}
- Key deliverables or decisions: {{list — e.g. final design sign-off, budget approval, vendor selection, launch go/no-go}}
- People and roles involved: {{list names/titles}}
- Current pain point: {{e.g. decisions stall because two people think they own approval, or nobody knows who to ask}}
Output:
## RACI matrix
Table: deliverable/decision (rows) by person/role (columns), each cell marked R, A, C, I, or blank.
## Rule check
For each row, confirm there is exactly one A (Accountable). If a row has zero or more than one A, flag it by name — that is the actual source of the current pain point, not a formatting detail.
## Where this differs from how people think it works today
2–3 places where the matrix contradicts the informal assumption someone on the team is probably operating under. Name the mismatch directly.
## Open questions
Deliverables where I could not confidently assign a role from the inputs given — do not guess, list what is missing.
Hard rule: a role marked "C" (Consulted) is a two-way conversation before the decision, not a heads-up after. If the current process treats consultation as a courtesy notification, say so explicitly in the rule check.project-managementaccountabilityraci
