How To Create an Involvement Matrix

The involvement matrix (responsibility assignment matrix, RAM, RACI matrix, ARCI matrix, linear responsibility chart, LRC) defines the level of involvement and nature of participation . The diagram shows the degree of involvement for all identified parties in the execution of corrective actions.
"Key responsibility roles.
Responsible.
Those who do the work to achieve the task. There is at least one role with a participation type of responsible, although others can be delegated to assist in the work required (see also RASCI below for separately identifying those who participate in a supporting role).
Accountable (also approver or final approving authority).
The one ultimately answerable for the correct and thorough completion of the deliverable or task, and the one who delegates the work to those responsible. In other words, an accountable must sign off (approve) on work that responsible provides. There must be only one accountable specified for each task or deliverable.
Consulted (sometimes counsel).
Those whose opinions are sought, typically subject matter experts; and with whom there is two-way communication.
Informed.
Those who are kept up-to-date on progress, often only on completion of the task or deliverable; and with whom there is just one-way communication." [Responsibility assignment matrix. Wikipedia]
The involvement matrix is one of the Seven Management and Planning Tools (7 MP tools, Seven New Quality Tools).
The person involvement matrix template for the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software is included in the solution "Seven Management and Planning Tools" from the Management area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

"A responsibility assignment matrix (RAM), also known as RACI matrix or ARCI matrix or linear responsibility chart (LRC), describes the participation by various roles in completing tasks or deliverables for a project or business process. It is especially useful in clarifying roles and responsibilities in cross-functional/ departmental projects and processes.
RACI and ARCI are acronyms derived from the four key responsibilities most typically used: Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed." [Responsibility assignment matrix. Wikipedia]

The vector stencils library Involvement matrix contains 20 templates and symbols for drawing the involvement matrices using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software. The involvement matrix is one of the Seven Management and Planning Tools (7 MP tools, Seven New Quality Tools).
"Matrix Diagram ... shows the relationship between items. At each intersection a relationship is either absent or present. It then gives information about the relationship, such as its strength, the roles played by various individuals or measurements. Six differently shaped matrices are possible: L, T, Y, X, C, R and roof-shaped, depending on how many groups must be compared." [Seven Management and Planning Tools. Wikipedia]
Use it to show what people and groups are involved in actions, and what their role is in every action.

Key responsibility roles:
(1) Responsible.
Those who do the work to achieve the task. There is at least one role with a participation type of responsible, although others can be delegated to assist in the work required.
(2) Accountable (also approver or final approving authority).
The one ultimately answerable for the correct and thorough completion of the deliverable or task, and the one who delegates the work to those responsible.

(4) Informed.

This involvement matrix example shows distribution of roles and responsibilities in the Standardised Emergency Preparedness Plan (SEPP) program.
"The Standardised Emergency Preparedness Plan (SEPP) is a concept of three part, seven stage emergency plans, originally conceived in 1998. The objective of the SEPP-concept is to be able to use a common structure for emergency plans for authorities and private organisations, disregarding the local or national or even international legislative or regulatory context and the type of emergency situation the plan is conceived for. Whilst the initial concept has been a personal research driven initiative, the SEPP-methodology is now used as the standard structure by CEMAC. SEPP-plans are in use in Belgium and in various other European countries." [Standardised Emergency Preparedness Plan. Wikipedia]
