I recently started managing projects and heard about the RACI matrix, but I don't quite understand what it is yet. Can you explain what its main advantages and potential disadvantages are? I need to understand it in order to properly utilize this methodology in my projects
This matrix is useful to understand who is responsible for what in a project and who should make decisions. On the plus side, it makes it easier to manage and coordinate. But, if you don't pay attention to the details, you can run into problems within the team due to misunderstanding of roles. For RACI example of how to use it, you can look here www.voiset.io
The main plus is that everyone knows their roles and responsibilities, which helps avoid confusion. The downside is that if the roles are not defined correctly, there can be problems in accomplishing tasks.
