Explanation

RACI is a Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM). A RAM maps project roles and responsibilities to team members or stakeholders in a grid/matrix format. RACI specifically identifies who is Responsible (does the work), Accountable (owns the outcome), Consulted (provides input), and Informed (kept up to date). It is not a text-oriented format (A), which uses paragraphs to describe roles. A resource management plan (B) is the broader document that may contain a RAM. An organizational chart (C) shows reporting hierarchy, not task-level responsibilities.
