RASCI roles (P)

This is a set of properties common for all activities, i.e., for Automatic, Manual, Computer, Internet, Telephone, Other, Decision, Meeting and Teamwork. These properties are shown in the Properties pane in the separate category RASCI.

 

They define a set of additional roles linked to an activity. Note that hey are taken into account neither in the process analysis (statistics and evaluation) not in the swim lanes view. For analysis and swim lanes only Roles property values are used.  Although Roles and Responsible have the same meaning you can define the set of Responsible roles for an activity independently from the actual value of Roles property of this activity.

RASCI is one of the most common examples of Responsibility assignment matrix.There are also other standards like RACI, CAIRO, PARIS, DACI etc.  If you want to use another standard for your project you can redefine the responsibility roles in the projects settings The new name of the corresponding category will be derived from the first letters of the responsibility roles. However, we will always use the name RASCI for responsibility roles within this manual.
