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
