RA(S)CI fact sheet

The RA(S)CI fact sheet contains the RA(S)CI matrix, which shows the responsibilities within a process. RA(S)CI is short for Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed. If you select a model of type Event-driven process chain, the RA(S)CI fact sheet is displayed.

The matrix shows which organizational unit participates in activities of a process and in what manner:

  • Responsible indicates the person who assumes execution responsibility. It shows who is responsible for performing an activity, who actually does the activity, but also who assumes the supervising responsibility.

  • Accountable indicates the person who is ultimately answerable for the correct and thorough completion of a task. This may be the person in charge of managing the costs, that is, the person assuming project budget responsibility. The decides on and accepts connections are evaluated to identify this responsibility.

  • Consulted indicates the person who has a consulting role. This organizational unit - typically a group of subject matter experts - is asked for advice before making a final decision or taking final action.

  • Informed indicates the person who must be informed. It indicates who is kept up to date on the progress or completion of a task.

If you use the corresponding objects and connections in the process models, you can evaluate them using the RA(S)CI matrix, which is output in ARIS Advanced.
