Responsibility Matrix


The responsibility matrix

This document clearly lays out who is responsible for which tasks, including timelines (which phases).

For each person, the matrix should also describe communication and collaboration planning:

  1. to whom they are accountable;
  2. with whom they consult;
  3. whom they must inform

A hypothetical example:

Scale and time

small project: one matrix might serve
medium-large project: one matrix per phase
