Turns workflows, data, causes, and improvements into a tangible result by listing activities or deliverables, defining roles, and obtaining team alignment.
Who carries final responsibility for each activity, who actively contributes, who is consulted and who is informed?
The method helps clarify workflows, data, causes, and improvements concretely. It identifies patterns, causes, bottlenecks, or constraints and turns them into actions. The result is captured as a RACI Matrix, Responsibility Map, and Decision Notes.
The team follows the steps: list activities or deliverables, define roles, assign RACI, check overload and gaps, and obtain team alignment. Each step is captured visibly. At the end, a RACI Matrix, Responsibility Map, and Decision Notes are available so decisions, tests, or actions can follow directly.

The runsheet guides execution with 5 phases, timeboxes, 5 pitfalls, and clear stop criteria.
Open runsheetRACI Matrix follows a clear working logic: list activities or deliverables, define roles, assign RACI, check overload and gaps, and obtain team alignment. This turns the method into a visible thinking process rather than only a conversation. The participants move step by step from raw material, observations, or options toward a shared structure. As a result, a RACI Matrix, Responsibility Map, and Decision Notes support decisions, learning, or further planning.
Prepare a clear guiding question, the right information, and a visible workspace. Plan about 45-90 min with 2-8 people and use the format either in a workshop or asynchronously. The facilitation remains lightweight; short timeboxes, visible intermediate results, and a parking lot for open questions help.
