RACI matrix template

If you’ve ever wondered, “Wait, who’s actually doing this?” this template is for you.

Our RACI matrix template is a no-fuss, customizable tool that helps product managers and cross-functional teams get crystal clear on who's Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed for every task or deliverable.

No more overlapping responsibilities, missed updates, or “I thought you were on that” moments.

What is a RACI matrix?

A RACI matrix is a project management tool used to clarify roles and responsibilities across a project or workflow. Each letter in “RACI” stands for a specific role:

• R = Responsible: The person doing the work.
• A = Accountable: The person ultimately answerable for the task (hint: there should only be one!).
• C = Consulted: The subject-matter experts or stakeholders who weigh in.
• I = Informed: The people who need to be kept in the loop.

This template takes the guesswork out of team roles by giving you a clean, ready-to-go framework with editable drop-downs and the flexibility to adapt to other models like RASCI or DRASCI if that’s your thing.

Who is it for?

Whether you’re leading a cross-functional product team, managing stakeholders, or supporting operations, this template is your new best friend. It's perfect for:

• Product managers looking to drive alignment and accountability.
• Product ops pros trying to streamline collaboration across departments.
• Project managers and team leads juggling multiple deliverables.
• Stakeholders and sponsors who want visibility without micromanagement.

Basically, if you work with people and projects, you’ll want this in your toolkit.
