Responsibility

A delegated task or obligation defined in the project management plan that creates a duty for the assigned resource to complete the work and meet the assignment's requirements.

Key Points

  • It is a duty created by assigning work to a specific resource.
  • Responsibilities can be delegated, but the assignee must perform the required work.
  • They are typically documented in tools like a RACI chart or responsibility assignment matrix.
  • Responsibility focuses on doing the work, distinct from authority (power) and accountability (answerability).

Example

The project plan assigns the QA lead responsibility for preparing and executing the system test plan for Release 1. This means the QA lead must produce the test cases, run them on schedule, log defects, and meet the defined quality criteria.

  4. The method used to categorize stakeholders by power and interest.

Explanation: Responsibility is a duty created by assignment of work in the plan; it obligates the assignee to complete the task according to requirements.

AI Systems with Claude, for Scrum Masters and Project Managers

Most AI pilots in project management do not fail on the model. They fail because somebody pointed the thing at a decision instead of at a task. This course is built around that distinction, and around the work that follows once you get it right.

Seven sections, taught against one running project from the first lecture to the last. You watch a system get built, then you build the same one against your own sprint. Nothing here is a demo that works only on the example.

You finish with five working systems and you keep them. The sprint report machine turns your board export and standup notes into the report you currently write by hand. The retro intelligence system tells you what the team keeps saying, not just what it said this time. The stakeholder comms engine drafts the update in the register the audience expects. The backlog health monitor flags the quiet decay nobody has time to check for. The risk and dependency tracker follows the chains that actually bite.

Seventy-six working files ship with it, across four sections, so every system is built against real sprint data rather than material invented for a slide. Four sprints of retrospectives, board exports, standup notes, backlog and risk data.
