A practical workflow
How to create a RACI chart in 3 steps
Start with a template close to your workflow instead of a blank page.
Name tasks by their outcome
Be specific: use “Approve the scope” rather than “Planning.” Replace the template's tasks and roles with terms your team uses.
Decide who is responsible and accountable
Click cells to assign R and A. Use C for people who need two-way consultation, and I for people who receive progress or outcome updates.
Review issues and share the CSV
Check the results for gaps and duplicate owners. Download the matrix once stakeholders agree, and review it when team responsibilities change.
Before sharing
Review the completed matrix with the people assigned
The checks examine R and A assignments. They do not assess authority or workload. Confirm that everyone understands their next action.
- Usually one AMake final approval and accountability clear.
- At least one RName the people doing the work as well as the approver.
- Choose C carefullyDistinguish essential consultation from updates.
- Use specific namesUse team or job titles that clearly identify who you mean.
- Review when things changeRecheck after changes to scope, team structure, or approval authority.

Frameworks for assigning responsibility
RACI vs. RASCI vs. DACI
Task ownership, supporting roles, or decision authority: choose based on what you need to clarify.
Clarify work and accountability
Define who does the work and who is accountable for the outcome of each task.
- R: Responsible — does the work
- A: Accountable — owns the outcome
- C: Consulted — provides input
- I: Informed — receives updates
Identify who supports the work
Adds Support to RACI to distinguish the people who help the responsible role carry out the work.
- Useful when you need to identify who helps with execution
- Separates support from consultation
- This tool's cells support the four RACI assignments
Clarify how decisions are made
Identify who drives a decision and who approves it, especially when decisions involve multiple departments.
- Driver: moves the decision forward
- Approver: makes the final decision
- Contributors: provide expertise
- Informed: receive the decision

Answers before you start
RACI chart FAQ
What's in the files, how to use them in Excel, and how your data is handled.
What does RACI stand for?
RACI stands for Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed. It organizes who does the work, approves it, provides input, and receives updates for each task.
What is included in the download?
The CSV includes the project name, tasks, roles, RACI assignments, and a legend. Before editing, it exports the prefilled product launch template; after editing, it exports your current matrix. The PNG is an image for sharing in documents or chat. The CSV buttons in the template list download the prefilled example for that workflow.
Can I use it with Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes. Open the CSV in Excel, or use “File → Import” in Google Sheets. The file includes a UTF-8 BOM to support Japanese text. If characters do not display correctly, import the file with UTF-8 encoding and a comma delimiter.
How many accountable people should each task have?
Usually, assign one Accountable (A) person to each task or decision. This tool detects rows with no R, no A, or multiple A assignments. You can still export CSV and PNG files with issues, so you can use the matrix to discuss unresolved assignments.
What is the difference between Responsible and Accountable?
R is the role that does the work. A is the role that owns the outcome and approves it. A task can have multiple R assignments. This tool allows one letter per cell. If the same person holds both roles, use separate role columns and indicate the dual responsibility in their names, or otherwise make the arrangement clear to everyone involved.
Can I use it for Agile, ITIL, and change management?
Yes. Start with one of the 4 prefilled templates. Each example is a starting point for discussion. Review assignments to reflect Agile self-management and your organization's authority and operating rules.
Is my input saved or sent anywhere?
Editing, checks, and file generation happen in your browser. Your input is not sent to a server. There is no autosave. Download the CSV before reloading the page or switching templates. This page cannot re-import CSV files. You can edit a saved CSV in spreadsheet software.
What if I can't find my download?
Check your browser's download list and save location. After file generation, “Download the same file again” appears in the generator's results panel. If your browser opens the image instead, use that screen's save or share options. If PNG generation fails, use CSV.
