CAPM Practice: Determine how to conduct stakeholder communication

In requirements contexts, a RACI matrix clarifies who must be consulted before requirements are finalized, who has approval authority, who executes the work, and who simply needs to be informed. This prevents missed sign-offs and decision paralysis.

**Why not A:** A requirements audit checklist for compliance reviews is a quality assurance tool, not a RACI matrix. The RACI matrix defines roles and responsibilities for communication and decision-making, clarifying who is Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed for each requirements activity.

**Why not B:** Rating requirements by Risk, Accuracy, Completeness, and Impact is a fabricated acronym expansion. RACI stands for Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed. It is a responsibility assignment tool, not a requirements scoring framework.

**Why not C:** A reporting framework for communicating project risks describes a risk communication plan, not a RACI matrix. The RACI matrix specifically addresses role clarity in decision-making and communication, ensuring the right people are involved at the right level for requirements activities.
