As a project manager on a cross-functional team, you notice that tasks are being duplicated and some are overlooked because team members are unsure of their specific responsibilities. Which document would best help you clarify and communicate individual roles to your team members?
A Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) is designed to map out every task within a project and assign it to a specific team member, ensuring clarity in roles and responsibilities. It helps prevent overlap and gaps in task assignments by explicitly defining who is responsible for what. The Work Breakdown Structure breaks the project into manageable sections but doesn't assign tasks to individuals. The Project Charter officially starts the project and outlines objectives but doesn't detail individual roles. The Stakeholder Register lists all parties with an interest in the project but doesn't assign project tasks.
