Explain how to use a responsibility assignment matrix on a software project.
A RAM clearly describes what participating roles have been assigned with deliverables/tasks to be completed. It clearly defines responsibilities and roles. Following are the steps for creating a RAM: Left hand column (vertical axis) consists of tasks from WBS.
The top row (horizontal axis) consists of various roles (not individual people).
Eg:
| TaskRoles | BA | Designer | Developer | Tester |
| Requirement | A | C | | | | |
| Design | | | A | C | | |
| Development | | | C | A | | |
| Test | | | C | C | A |
A->Accountable
C->Consulted
I->Informed
