Responsibility Assignment Matrix

As a graphical depiction of a more detailed perspective of responsibilities, the responsibility assignment matrix should reflect assigned responsibility by functional role for key project deliverables.  An example of roles detailed below could include (1) Project Manager, (2) Project Sponsor, (3) Implementation Manager, (N) Team Lead

Project Deliverables Role 1 Role 2 Role 3 Role N
WBS 1.15.10.1300 - Project Charter E A C I
WBS 1.15.10.1301 - Project Schedule E A,C A I
WBS 1.15.10.1302 - Project Budget E A,C E I
WBS 1.15.10.1303 - Status Reports C C A E
Legend E = responsible for execution (may be shared) A = final approval for authority C = must be consulted I = must be informed

I use this matrix in a few of my project artifacts, to include the Lessons Learned. You can download a free copy here
