Responsibility Matrix

This document sets forth a responsibility matrix where key activities or processes are

listed on each row and staff positions (contactors, program staff, and managers) are

listed for each column. The matrix assigns responsibility, such as Perform, Assign and

Approve, Review, Input, and Secondary, for each process. This matrix can be used to

match tasks and clarify roles and responsibilities within an organization or project. This

template matrix can be modified to fit the unique needs of a company or project

manager.
