RACI Matrix Generator
Clearly define responsibilities in your project. Add tasks and stakeholders, assign R/A/C/I roles, and check the matrix's validity.

Who actually performs the work
Who approves and responds to the result (one only for each task).
Who is consulted first before making decisions
Who is kept up to date on the state of progress?

Come utilizzare Generatore Matrice RACI
Define project tasks and stakeholders
Add activities or tasks to the left column and stakeholders to the right column. You can modify them at any time.
Assign a RACI role for each task-stakeholder combination
For each matrix cell, select R (Responsible), A (Accountable), C (Consulted), or leave blank if the stakeholder is not involved in that task.
Check for automatic validation
The tool checks that every task has exactly one Accountable and at least one Responsible, highlighting tasks with unclear or missing responsibilities in real-time.
Export matrix as CSV or Markdown
Once completed and validated, copy the template into a spreadsheet or Markdown format for inclusion in project documentation or wiki.
Suggerimenti
- Avoid assigning too many roles 'C' (Consulted): excessive consultation slows down the decision-making process and blurs responsibilities.
- Review the RACI matrix every significant change in team or scope: an outdated matrix causes more confusion than not having one at all.
- Share the matrix with all involved stakeholders, not just the project manager: transparency on roles prevents conflicts and duplicate work.
Domande frequenti
What do the letters R, A, C, and I in the RACI matrix mean?
R (Responsible) indicates who performs the work concretely; A (Accountable) indicates who is responsible and approves the final result (must be one person per task); C (Consulted) indicates who is consulted in a bidirectional manner before making decisions; I (Informed) indicates who is simply kept updated on progress, without being involved in decision-making.
Why can there be only one Accountable for every task?
Accountable is the person who ultimately responds to the result of a task. If multiple people are Accountable for the same task, in case of problems neither would feel truly responsible: the rule of one Accountable eliminates decisional ambiguity and is the core principle of the RACI framework.
Can a task have no assigned responsible?
No: Each task must have at least one Responsible, meaning someone who actually performs the work. A task without a Responsible is essentially no work being done, even if someone is formally Accountable. The tool's validator flags this case as an error.
What is the difference between Consulted and Informed?
Be concise — keep similar length. Concise implies bidirectional communication: the stakeholder is consulted before a decision is made and their opinion influences the outcome, for example, a legal expert consulted before signing a contract. Informed implies only unilateral communication: the stakeholder receives an update on progress but does not participate in the decision-making process, for example, a manager informed at the end of a sprint.
When is it convenient to use a RACI matrix in a project?
The RACI matrix is useful when a project involves multiple teams or stakeholders with undefined roles, when delays are caused by blocked decisions, or when conflicts arise over who should do what. It's less useful for small and well-coordinated teams where responsibilities are already clear and formalizing it would only add unnecessary bureaucratic overhead.
