Decision-making can become a complex thing in a team of people. The DRASCI-Matrix is a structured approach to help you make quick and effective decision during a project.
How to use the DRASCI Matrix in 7 Steps:
1. This tool identifies the key roles and responsibilities of stakeholders and project team members for each major task within a project.
2. Assign only one driver and accountable person per task. The person assigned “driver” shouldn’t also be “accountable” for the same task.
3. Therefore, it should only include the major milestones (especially those that will require decision and/or approvals) and not every workpackage that is part of the project plan.
4. As such it should also be taylored to each new project.
5. Prepare the DRASCI matrix at the beginning of the project to be ready to weather the storms when the going gets tough and you don't always have the time you'd like to have to make decisions.
6. Make the DRASCI matrix readily available to the project team to check any time during the project.
7. Stick to the plan! A deviation from the defined project roles will lead to distrust and confusion as well as weaken the power of the DRASCI framework.
