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.
