RACI / RAM / LRC / RACI-VS


A Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM), also known as RACI matrix or Linear Responsibility Chart (LRC), describes the participation by various roles in completing tasks or deliverables for a project or business process. It is especially useful in clarifying roles and responsibilities in cross-functional/departmental projects and processes.
RACI is an acronym derived from the four key responsibilities most typically used:

Responsible,
Accountable,
Consulted, and
Informed.


RACI-VS
This is an expanded version of the standard RACI, with two additional participation types:

Verifier
Those who check whether the product meets the acceptance criteria set forth in the product description.

Signatory
Those who approve the Verify decision and authorize the product hand-off. It seems to make sense that the Signatory should be the party being Accountable for its successor.
