I am looking to use a RACI chart for my latest project, and I can't seem to find many specifics about it. Mainly, I'm looking for some guidelines on how to classify people into the 4 criteria. For example, do you use R (Review) as approval? I've seen A used as approval or accountable. How have others used RACI charts, and how did it work for you? Thanks for your assistance.
Also, if you have any electronic templates that work well for you, I'd love it if you'd send them to me. Saving Changes...
I'm making a RACI chart for a website development plan. I have no idea how to classify the areas. Any suggestions? Saving Changes...

RACI is used in organizational design to make assignments and designate levels of involvement and responsibility.
An 'R' designation indicates that the person is responsible for the completion of a task, for example. This is the person assigned to get it done.
An ?A? designation indicates that the person is accountable. This might be the person who manages the responsible person in some organizations. This person will be "called into account" if the task is not completed.
Others might be 'C' consulted about aspects of the task but are not directly accountable, responsible or for that matter involved.
An 'I' person will be involved as a team member but not accountable or responsible. A 'grunt' so to speak (that's why this person is not consulted -- although a good team leader will consult team members from time to time.)
This is the way I was taught to use RACI -- there may be other ways of using the Acronym.
