What is Vertical analysis in RACI Chart?

Lots of R’s – Can the person be effective with all this responsibility? • No empty spaces – Does the individual(s) need to be in so many activities? Are they the “gatekeeper”? Can C’s be reduced to I’s or left to individuals’ discretion when something needs an action? • No R’s or A’s - Should this functional role be eliminated? Have processes changed to a point where resources should be realigned? • Too many A’s – Is there a proper segregation of duties? Should other groups be accountable for some activities to ensure accurate decision making throughout the process? Is this a bottleneck in the process – are people waiting for decisions or direction?
