Detailed responsibilities within the Global Transition method are described using an extended RACI matrix. A letter in the matrix identifies the responsibility relative to one activity for a given role. The responsibilities must be tuned to the specific requirements of each situation. Operational units may also have specific guidelines that must be followed. The meaning of the letters used within the matrix is as indicated below.
R |
Responsible, implying the main responsibility in delivering effort and skill. |
A |
Accountable, implying management (overrides R when both are implied). |
C |
Consulted, implying assistance (both active and advisory). |
I |
Informed, implying a requirement of the one responsible to report on the task. |
V |
Verifies, implying a quality check against the conditions of the quality standards in place. |
S |
Signoff, implying the actions of review, validation and acceptance. |
