Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 96

A new project manager has been assigned to an ongoing project. What will the project manager use to identify the responsibilities of the stakeholders in the project?

Answer options

• A. Responsible, accountable, consult, and inform (RACI) chart
• B. Charter
• C. Responsibility assignment matrix (RAM)
• D. Stakeholder matrix

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) is specifically designed to clarify the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders in a project. While the RACI chart and stakeholder matrix also address roles, they do not provide as comprehensive a structure as the RAM. The charter is more focused on project initiation and does not detail individual responsibilities.
