What is Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM)?

A Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) in project management is comparable to a seating chart that displays where everyone seats at a dinner party in that it illustrates who is responsible for what inside a project. It is a table or chart that lists project tasks or activities as well as the individuals or roles that are in charge of them. The RAM specifies who is in charge of various tasks, who must be contacted or informed, and who takes final decisions, ensuring that everyone understands their position and duties in the project. It reduces misunderstanding and ensures that tasks are assigned to the appropriate personnel, keeping everything orderly and on schedule.
