TEMPLATE DESCRIPTION

No matter what the project details are, a clear understanding of tasks and responsibilities is step one in good project management. Depending on the project details, there might be tens of people included along with several roles and tasks. Two exceptional tools to make the lives of project managers easier are Responsibility Assignment Matrix Excel template and Work Breakdown Structure.

Our Responsibility Assignment Matrix is a the strategic matrice for job allocation and role-based duties. Efficiently allocate duties, streamline department coordination, and enhance team productivity.

Directly accessible in Excel, our RAM Template includes both WBS Chart and RACI Chart -stands for Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed– in one single file. Moreover, this Excel template shows precise information about the role of each person in each specific task. As it is important to have a visual understanding of the bigger picture, the Assignment Responsibility Matrix is connected with the Work Breakdown Structure diagram.

With this RASIC or RASCI matrix, streamline troop assignments, prioritize communication, and improve engagement for maximum efficiency. Also, you can use this template as a Visio alternative for Mac computers, and make duty assignment for your teams and staff profile.

Responsibility Assignment Matrix Features

Constructed by three parts, our Responsibility Assignment Matrix is a simple yet comprehensive project management tool. Namely, the sections of the RACI Chart are; 1) Settings, 2) Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM), and 3) Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).

1. Settings

This section is where you will easily define the people, positions, and assignment categories. As a result, the information here will be used throughout the rest of the Excel template. The settings charts are quite straight-forward:

Firstly, just input team details or employee names manually. Secondly, continue with including their positions and the shortcut you’d like to see in the Responsibility Assignment Matrix Chart. Should you need more lines, you can simply use the ‘+’ button located on the left corner of the settings sheet to increase the number to a maximum of a hundred.

After that, you can move forwards with the ‘Assignment Categories’ settings to define your desired category labels and their representative symbols. Meanwhile, you can rename each label that is present there and fill the categories up to 10 different task categories.

2. Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM)

The RAM matrix is where you define all the tasks of your project. Here you will input the task descriptions by writing them down and allocate tasks to certain team members by using the dropdown options.

In brief, all the team members will automatically appear in the chart, and the only thing you will be doing is to select the assignment category for each member – if any. For your ease of use, the assignment category legend will be located on the top of the sheet.

As explained, you can define these assignment categories in the ‘settings’ section of the RACI Chart Template.

Should there be a need, you can insert or delete rows into the table. If you would like to copy-paste any data, please always paste special as values. Although it is optional, inputting IDs is important to create the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).

Only the tasks that have ID will be visible in the WBS section . Therefore if you skip IDs, you won’t see any output in the Work Breakdown (WBS) section. For any issues with the IDs, such as duplication or typo, you will see a highlight on the relevant cells.

3. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

Providing a visual snapshot of the tasks, Work Breakdown Structure is the final section of this responsibility assignment matrix template. It is a hierarchic tree form, created based on the IDs and task descriptions on the RAM sheet plus the people and titles set in the Settings sheet.

You may define what should and should not display in this chart by using the ‘Chart contents’ drop-down options.

Responsibility-Assignment-Matrix-RACI-Chart-Someka-S04

Furthermore, you may make use of the filtering options to customize the WBS chart. The available filters are ‘Role assigned’ and ‘Person’. The role assigned will indicate which assignment categories to be included in the chart whereas the person will customize the chart by highlighting tasks that belong to this person.

For printout purposes, the user can also change project details here and add a project name, date and/or a responsible supervisor. Moreover, the print area is dynamic, so you will not have to manually update it. Please also note that the maximum visible number of people or roles per task is five.

Enhance delegation, participation, prioritization, and teamwork within your program, ensuring top-notch performance and approval with this R.A.C.I. template.

USER REVIEWS & COMMENTS

13 reviews for Responsibility Assignment Matrix Excel Template

  1. Julia

    Can I use this template on my mac?

    • Someka

      Our Excel Templates are designed specifically for Windows. However, most of them are also compatible with Mac – but first, please check the product description for more details.
      To use these templates, you’ll need Microsoft Excel for Mac, as Apple’s Numbers isn’t supported.
      In contrast, our Google Sheets Templates will work on any operating system – all you need is an Internet connection and a Google account.

  2. Simo

    I adored the pastel shades. Additionally, the summaries and graphs were incredibly beneficial.

  3. Pradeep K

    I truly wish this template contained less Smokea branding!

  4. Anil Manzi

    Is there a way to use this template at a online version?

  5. Enrico Earl

    This template is amazing! Everyone at my company now knows their job duties and responsibilities.

  6. Taiwo Cantal

    How I can delete the yellow notes?

    • Someka

      To begin, as stated here, unlock the sheets and right-click on the yellow notes to cut and remove them. Make sure you are familiar with the template’s instructions and remove any extra notes.

  7. JD

    Great but is it gonna work on mobile app ms office 365?

    • Someka

      Hi JD,
      Yes, all templates that do not include VBA (Macros) will work on your tablet, smartphone or iPad.

  8. Ellison J

    Why do I have to define those names in settings?/?

    • Someka

      Hi Ellison,
      The template is constructed this way so all the information you write in settings will be useful for both RAM and WBS section. You can easily select the data from the dropdowns!

  9. Quidel Eaton

    We can track what we need to work, how to do easily. They are ok.But, we need more lines for name and position on the settings section. It is not enough for us. How can I add more lines?

    • Someka

      Hi Quidel,

      Adding more lines is possible, after unlocking the premium version of the product with the password we sent.
      Under the setting sheet, you will see plus (+) sign on the left side of the table.
      When you click on the sign, extra rows will be added automatically. Please see the image below.

    Thank you. Its useful and great!! Your excel explains our roles well and prevent task confusion.
    We can track all of them.

  13. Gaia Nabo

    this not very useful I don’t want to use any ID

    • Someka

      Hi Gaia, to answer your question:
      Well, it is not a must. You can just ignore the ID and use only RAM. But if you want to see your tasks in a form of work breakdown structure this is where we need the ID. Should you need further explanation or have any questions please reach out at contact@someka.net
