Stakeholder analysis (2)
RACI / RASCI chart |
Responsible, Accountable, Supportive, Consulted, Informed |
| |
Charts used to record and assess the stakeholders’ roles and responsibilities with regard to a business problem, a business process or a task. |
| |
Recording stakeholders and their responsibilities on RACI charts helps to provide a clear view of the people we are dealing with in a particular project, what we can expect them to deliver or make available, and how we need to communicate with them. |
| |
Adopt the following steps.
- Identify the areas of work to be carried out. Allocate each area of work to a row on the chart. It is useful to choose an active verb when naming a task.
- Identify the stakeholders who will be involved in the project or business process. Allocate each stakeholder to a column, and annotate each column along the top of the chart.
- Consider each task in turn to decide where the RASCI elements reside.
- Review the completeness of the RASCI chart. |

Stakeholder analysis (1)
CATWOE |
Customers, Actors, Transformation, World view, Owners, Environment |
| |
Ensures that we understand stakeholders' ideas, priorities and wishes before we put forward recommendations, or, even worse, implement business changes. |
| |
Used at various stages and for many purposes during a project:
- as a means of understanding a stakeholder’s view of a business system, in order to develop a conceptual model that may be used to analyse the gap between current and desired systems;
- as a means of analysing the source of potential or actual conflict between stakeholders;
- as a means of considering different priorities assigned by stakeholders to options, business needs or requirements. |
| |
- The key to this technique is the ‘W’, Weltanschauung or world view.
- Understanding a stakeholder’s world view is a fundamental step in understanding the perceived needs, priorities and values, and uncovering these helps to reveal hidden agendas. |
