Use the RA(S)CI matrix to clearly represent and evaluate organizational responsibilities for activities in processes. RA(S)CI stands for Responsible, Accountable, (Supportive), Consulted, Informed. The matrix shows which organizational unit participates in activities of a process and in what manner:
Responsible indicates the person who assumes execution responsibility. It shows who is responsible for performing an activity, who actually does the activity, but also who assumes the supervising responsibility. Execution responsibility must be assigned to at least one role, although others (see Supportive) can be delegated to assist in the work required.
Accountable indicates the person who is ultimately answerable for the correct and thorough completion of a task. This may be the person in charge of managing the costs, that is, the person assuming project budget responsibility. The decides on and accepts connections are evaluated to identify this responsibility.
(Supportive indicates the person who supports the person responsible (see 'Responsible') in performing the activity.)
Consulted indicates the person who has a consulting role. This organizational unit - typically a group of subject matter experts - is asked for advice before making a final decision or taking final action.
Informed indicates the person who must be informed. It indicates who is kept up to date on the progress or completion of a task.
By using the corresponding objects and connections in process models, they can be output with the report RA(S)CI - Output organizational participations in processes. By default, this report does not return any Supportive information. To output this information, your script administrator must set the g_bRASCI variable to true.
In the portal, process participations are displayed by default as a RACI matrix in the Classic and Default view. Instead of RACI, you can also configure the matrix as RA(S)CI matrix. Please contact your local Software AG sales organization.
In the RACI matrix, RACI data is displayed under the following conditions:
The connections are used in the selected process model.
The connections are used in a function allocation diagram that is assigned to a function of the selected process model.
