The situation
When this template earns its place
The charter names project leadership, but delivery still fails when several people think someone else owns a decision. A RACI matrix makes responsibility visible at the deliverable level before work is scheduled.

The filled matrix assigns the sponsor to approve the charter and go/no-go, the project lead to own requirements, build and handover, and one delivery role to each task. Every row returns OK.
Common mistakes
What makes the document stop working
RACI for every minor task
An oversized matrix becomes maintenance work. Use it for meaningful deliverables and decisions.
Names without roles
Prefer stable roles in the matrix; record the current people in the plan or team list.
FAQ
Questions before you use it
What does the RACI check validate?
It counts A entries in each populated row and returns OK only when the count is exactly one.
Can one person be both R and A?
Yes, when that person both performs and owns the work. Use one cell per role column and keep one A in the row.
Should every role appear in every row?
No. Add only the roles that are Responsible, Accountable, Consulted or Informed for that deliverable.
Does the validation survive Excel download?
Yes. The R/A/C/I list, formulas and conditional formatting are stored in the XLSX file.
