RE: [epf-dev] Owner vs. Responsible

[The Viking on the French Riviera <bjorn.tuft@xxxxxxxxx>]

The distinctions are used a lot by consultants, especially within the RACI model:

 

The RACI model is a straightforward tool that can be used for identifying roles and responsibilities to make the processes happen.  RACI is an abbreviation of:

R	=	Responsible - owns the problem / project
A	=	To whom "R" is Accountable - who must sign off (Approve) on work before it is effective and who are ultimately accountable for the correct and thorough completion of the deliverable
C	=	To be Consulted - has information and/or capability necessary to complete the work
I	=	To be Informed - must be notified of results, but need not be consulted

 

It can be useful to add the concept of Sponsor or Supportive:

S

=

Can be Sponsor or Supportive - can provide resources or play a supporting role in implementation

Gentlemen,

 

   Please, I´m not sure I have the correct understanding for these two concepts.

 

1)      What “owner” means and what “responsible” means. 

2)      Are they synonyms?

3)      Is “responsible” the role that “executes” the work?

4)      What is the relation with the idea of “accountable” (RACI concept)?

 

   I´d be glad if you can point me some references in order to better understand it.

 

Thank you,

Maciel
