CBAP Business Analyst Exam Prep

Answer: B - The RACI matrix is a tool to show graphically the responsibilities of the key players in planning and managing requirements.

Key Takeaway: RACI is an acronym as follows: [R]esponsible does the work, [A]ccountable is the decision maker, [C]onsulted prior to the work and input solicited, and [I]nformed is one who is informed after a task ends. RACI is clearly defined before a requirements planning and management project is begun. This definition gives team members a clear picture of responsibilities and expectation during planning and management activities. Some team members may have more than one designation; for example, a Project Manager may be both responsible and accountable for the project.
