Talk:Responsibility assignment matrix

The final sentence of the Methodology section mentions a "Variations" section but there is not one present. Suggest removing this part for the timebeing to avoid confusion. If someone has variations on the definitions, they can add them later on.

Versions and Category

I added the Versions information in from the page history and added the category back to the page. For the individual who removed that information, if you feel that it does not belong with this page information please give a reason. The version information is valuable and the Category of Project Management is appropriate. Thanks. JOE-- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.90.35.11 (talk) 16:45, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A is for Approver?

I got some feedback that A is for Approver. ?? --64.214.85.60 (talk) 16:23, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
--12.10.219.38 (talk) 20:39, 19 August 2008 (UTC) In essence, the original scheme has a single "Accountable" but can have several "Responsible"; this can cause confusion over the difference betwween definitions. Changing "Accountable" to "Approver" helps to clarify that. However, the alternative scheme defined here removes the two-tier responsibility at the task level and specifies that, for each task, one person is responsible for its execution; they may be assisted by others and will need to communicate (two-way "Consultation" and one-way "Inform"). Where a higher authority is needed to approve a task, that is added as a subsequent task where approver/authority is "Responsible". It may sound cumbersome but, if applied consistently, it works well.Steve @ Aberdeen <>< (talk) 08:28, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

The article on Responsibility assignment matrix cover the same ground as RACI matrix; so I would like to propose redirecting Responsibility assignment matrix to the appropriate section in this article. Greyskinnedboy (talk) 03:30, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article on RASIC is even more similar to RACI matrix; so I have also proposed merging RASIC with this article. Greyskinnedboy (talk) 01:49, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Given the move to have articles on fully articulated titles (not the abbreviations), perhaps the main articles should be the Responsibility assignment matrix itself, with the RACI matrix being the first/main example, followed by all the other variations.
