At Shane Co., we use the RACI model to clearly define each team member’s role throughout the design process. For every project, the chart identifies who is Responsible for completing the work, who is Accountable for the final outcome, who should be Consulted for feedback or expertise, and who needs to remain Informed of decisions and progress. Establishing these responsibilities early helps prevent confusion, eliminates duplicated efforts, and ensures that communication reaches the appropriate channel leads. This structure creates a more organized and efficient workflow, allowing each contributor to understand their responsibilities and how their work supports the project’s overall success.
