About the RACI Chart Templates Collection

A RACI chart template (also known as a Responsibility Assignment Matrix) is a strategic framework used to clarify roles and responsibilities for every task, milestone, or decision within a project. By assigning one of four labels—Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, or Informed—to each stakeholder, this template eliminates ambiguity, prevents the "bystander effect," and ensures that projects move forward with clear ownership and zero overlapping authority.

Key Components of a RACI Chart Template

A professional RACI chart template acts as your project’s "Rules of Engagement." Every high-performance Miro board should include these four core definitions:

  • Responsible (The Doer): The person or team who actually performs the work to complete the task.

  • Accountable (The Owner): The one person who must sign off on the work and is answerable for its success or failure. Remember: Only one "A" per task.

  • Consulted (The Advisor): People whose opinions are sought before and during the task. This is a two-way communication.

  • Informed (The Kept-in-the-Loop): People who are kept up-to-date on progress or completion. This is a one-way communication (e.g., via a status report).

Which RACI Variant Do You Need?

While the standard RACI is the gold standard, different team cultures may require a slight shift in logic. Select the Miro template that matches your organizational "DNA":

  • The Standard RACI:

    • Best For: Corporate environments and structured project management.

    • The Goal: To provide a rigid, clear hierarchy of ownership.

  • The RASCI (The "Support" Variant):

    • Best For: Complex engineering or creative teams where the "Responsible" person needs a dedicated "Support" (S) role to get the work done.

    • The Goal: To acknowledge the people doing the "heavy lifting" who don't necessarily own the final decision.

  • The DACI (The "Decision" Variant):

    • Best For: Product teams and high-velocity startups.

    • The Goal: Focuses on Decision-making (Driver, Approver, Contributor, Informed) rather than just "tasks." It’s the ultimate tool for breaking ties in fast-moving environments.

How to use the RACI chart templates in Miro

Using Miro's RACI chart templates is straightforward and can be broken down into the following steps:

  1. Select a template: Choose a RACI chart template from Miro's template library. There, you can find the simple RACI matrix template.

  2. Define tasks and activities: List all the tasks and activities that need to be completed for your project.

  3. Assign roles: For each task, assign the roles of Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed. Ensure that each task has one person accountable and one or more responsible individuals.

  4. Consult and inform: Identify the stakeholders who need to be consulted for their input and those who need to be informed about the progress.

  5. Review and adjust: Regularly review the RACI chart with your team to ensure that it remains accurate and up-to-date. Make adjustments as necessary to reflect any changes in the project.

  6. Communicate: Share the RACI chart with all team members and stakeholders to ensure everyone understands their roles and responsibilities.

By following these steps, you can efficiently manage your projects by using Miro's RACI chart templates. In addition or as an alternative to RACI charts, consider using a roles and responsibilities template to provide clarity and accountability throughout projects.
