In project management, it’s key that every team member working on the project has clearly defined roles. RASCI (or RACI) is a responsibility assignment matrix, i.e. a table that combines the roles for a task and the people involved in the project.
RASCI defines who does what, when, where and with whom.

It helps everyone be a master of their time and feel in control of their share of the project.
