Table 5 Responsibility Matrix Roles
Add whatever responsibilities necessary for the team or project. The two critical ones that must exist in every matrix is responsible and accountable. When filling the matrix there can be only one accountable per item and the one responsible, have as many support and consult as needed but always one accountable and one responsible, preferably not the same person for separation of duties.
