Miguel leads a group of projects that share resources. Multiple tasks cross project boundaries, but the team is not certain who ensures these tasks are completed. Which action clarifies roles for both the core team and each project?
Ask project managers to develop their resource plans and combine them at the end of each project phase
Create a comprehensive assignment matrix that outlines each contributor’s duties for tasks spanning multiple projects
List program-related tasks in each project’s scope statement and direct teams to coordinate regularly
Authorize a sponsor to assign responsibilities for cross-project tasks
A responsibility assignment matrix (RAM) maps tasks to individuals and highlights who is accountable at the program level. This approach avoids resource overlaps and gaps. Listing tasks in each scope without a unifying structure, asking managers to merge plans at the end of phases, and letting a sponsor handle cross-project tasks can cause limited visibility and misalignment. The RAM integrates responsibilities across programs and projects, reducing role confusion.
