In
  project
  management,
  it
  is
  very
  important
  for
  all
  the
  stakeholders
  to
  understand
  the
  responsibilities
  and
  accountabilities
  of
  each
  person.
  While
  smaller
  teams
  can
  have
   more
  informal
  rules
  to
  keep
  track
  of
  responsibilities,
  in
  bigger
  teams
  with
  cross-­‐department
  and
  inter-­‐organizational
  collaboration,
  it
  is
  very
  important
  to
  create
  a
  more
   formal
  process
  to
  track
  responsibilities.
  This
  helps
  reduce
  confusion
  and
  leads
  project
  to
  faster
  completion.

   A
  RAM
  is
  a
  matrix
  that
  maps
  the
  work
  of
  the
  project
  as
  described
  in
  the
  WBS
  to
  the
  people
  responsible
  for
  performing
  the
  work.
  The
  RAM
  allocates
  work
  to
  responsible
   and
  performing
  teams
  or
  individuals.
  In
  addition
  to
  using
  a
  RAM
  to
  assign
  detailed
  work
  activities,
  you
  can
  also
  use
  a
  RAM
  to
  define
  general
  roles
  and
  responsibilities
  on
   projects.
  The
  type
  of
  RAM
  can
  include
  the
  stakeholders
  in
  the
  project.
