Development Process References
This page provides a backbone for defining the development process in layers, role expectations, acceptance criteria, and good practices. Although only one person is accountable for each layer, other roles are responsible, consulted, or informed. The involvement for each role per layer is stated on the RACI Matrix information below.
RACI Matrix
A RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) chart is a tool that can support ensuring clarity on job roles and responsibilities.
- R = Responsible (at least one role) - The person with responsibility for the task or deliverable is typically responsible for developing the deliverable or completing the activity.
- A = Accountable (only one person is ever accountable for the completion of the layer) - The person or group responsible for ensuring the work is complete and suitable. An accountable person:
- Ensures the requirements are met.
- Ensures that others that are Responsible recognize their role in completing the deliverable or task.
- Determines that the deliverable or task is done, with reference to Essential Outputs and Acceptance Criteria.
- C = Consulted (none or many roles) - a person whose opinion may optionally be sought. Typically subject-matter experts; it’s a two-way communication and negotiation.
- I = Informed (none or many roles) - a person, group, or role who are told when the task or deliverable is done.
