Day 83 / 100 · Stakeholders · RACI vs RAPID

Who decides?

Two popular frameworks for clarifying roles. RACI is built for getting work done; RAPID is built for making decisions.

RACI

For Tasks & Execution

  • Responsible: does the work
  • Accountable: owns the result
  • Consulted: gives input
  • Informed: kept up to date

RAPID

For Decisions

  • Recommend: proposes the option
  • Agree: must sign off (e.g. Legal)
  • Perform · Input
  • Decide: makes the final call
