Figure 8:Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM)
It would also be a good idea to assign responsibilities to at least each key task to specific personnel on your project. This will allow the project manager to avoid potential future surprises and miscommunications especially in a traditional functional organization where the resources are assigned by the departmental managers and directors.
Team member responsibilities
Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) is a tabular representation of the project tasks and resources responsible for completion of these tasks (see Figure 9 for a partial RAM).
