CAPM Practice: Determine how to document project controls of predictive, plan-based projects
Question 36 of 85 in Determine how to document project controls of predictive, plan-based projects
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed — to define roles and responsibilities for project activities
Explanation
A RACI chart (Responsibility Assignment Matrix) defines: Responsible (who does the work), Accountable (who has final authority/ownership), Consulted (whose input is needed), and Informed (who needs to be kept updated). It clarifies expectations, prevents confusion about who makes decisions, and ensures every activity has clear ownership.
**Why not A:** "Report, Analyze, Communicate, Implement" is not what RACI stands for. This fabricated acronym describes a performance reporting process, which is unrelated to the role-assignment purpose of a RACI chart.
**Why not C:** "Review, Approve, Control, Implement" is also not what RACI stands for. This fabricated acronym describes a change control process. While change control is important, it is a separate concept from role and responsibility assignment.
**Why not D:** "Risk, Assumption, Constraint, Issue" is not what RACI stands for. This describes elements of project constraints and risk documentation, not a tool for defining roles and responsibilities on project activities.
