ITPEC FE Morning April 2018 Question 52
ITPEC FE Morning April 2018 — Question 52 of 80
Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) — maps project activities to responsible organizational units.
RAM (also called RACI matrix) is a table where:
- Rows = project activities (tasks, work packages)
- Columns = organizational units (teams, roles, individuals)
- Cells = responsibility type (e.g., Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed)
Key phrase: "relationship between project activity and the units of project" → RAM.
Why not others:
- (a) OBS (Organizational Breakdown Structure) — hierarchy of project organizational units only, no link to activities
- (b) PBS (Product Breakdown Structure) — hierarchy of product components/deliverables, no link to who performs work
- (d) WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) — hierarchy of project work/tasks, no link to who is responsible
Memory tip: RAM = Roles Assigned to activities Matrix — the only one that connects who to what.
