The RACI matrix indicates levels of responsibility for aspects of deploying Dedicated Instance, as follows:

  • R = Responsible – Responsible for performing the task (i.e., the actual person doing the work to complete the task).

  • A = Accountable – Ultimately accountable for the task completion. The accountable person must sign off the work that the Responsible person produces.

  • C = Consulted – Team members whose input is used to complete the task. Communication with these members is two-way in nature.

  • I = Informed – Team members kept informed about the status of the task. Communication with these members is one-way in nature.
