RACI chart generator

Add the people and the tasks, then click to set who is Responsible, Accountable, Consulted and Informed. Live checks flag tasks with no owner or two, and people carrying too much. Or let AI propose a first draft.

Updated October 4, 2026 · By the Align team

The grid is yours to edit either way.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Name the project

    One line is enough: “Launch the pricing page”.

  2. 2

    Add people and tasks

    List the people or roles and the tasks. Leave the tasks empty to let the AI propose them.

  3. 3

    Set the roles

    Click a cell to cycle R, A, C, I. Or press the AI button for a first draft.

  4. 4

    Fix the warnings

    Every task needs exactly one A and at least one R. Then copy it to your doc or sheet.

What R, A, C and I mean

LetterRolePlain meaning
RResponsibleDoes the work
AAccountableOwns the result and signs off. One person only.
CConsultedAsked before; two-way conversation
IInformedTold after; one-way

The one rule that matters: every task has exactly one Accountable person. Two means no one is. The same person can be both A and R, written A/R, when they do the work and own it.

Common RACI mistakes

  • Two Accountables on a task, so each assumes the other is deciding.
  • Too many Cs. If everyone is consulted, nothing moves.
  • One person is R or A on most rows. The chart shows the bottleneck, so fix it.
  • A chart nobody reads. Put it where the work happens and update it when roles change.
  • Roles instead of names for a small team. Use names when there are fewer than ten of you.

Frequently asked questions

What is a RACI chart?

A matrix that shows, for each task, who is Responsible, Accountable, Consulted and Informed. It makes ownership explicit so nothing falls between people.

Can a task have more than one Responsible person?

Yes. Several people can do the work. There must be exactly one Accountable person.

What is the difference between Responsible and Accountable?

Responsible people do the work. The Accountable person owns the outcome and approves it. It is often the same person on small tasks, shown as A/R.

How do I export it?

Copy as a markdown table, copy as tab-separated text to paste into Google Sheets or Excel, or download a CSV.

Is my project stored?

No. The grid runs in your browser. If you use the AI button, the project and names go to our AI providers to propose roles.
