You are the program manager for your organization and are planning the roles and responsibilities in your program. You would like to create a RACI chart for the program work. What does RACI mean?

Answer options

• A. It is a roles and responsibilities chart that uses responsible, accountable, consult, and inform responsibilities as the chart legend.
• B. It is a roles and responsibilities chart that uses responsible, action, consult, and interest responsibilities as the chart legend.
• C. It is a roles and responsibilities chart that uses resource, action, contribute, inform responsibilities as the chart legend.
• D. It is a roles and responsibilities chart that uses responsible, accountable, contribute, and inform responsibilities as the chart legend.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as RACI stands for Responsible, Accountable, Consult, and Inform, which are key roles in project management. Options B and C contain incorrect terms that do not accurately reflect the RACI model, while option D replaces 'consult' with 'contribute,' which is also incorrect.
