Reread the Kitchen Heaven Project Case Study in Heldman et al. pages 84-87, 139-141, 190-193, and 283-285.
Part 1: Action Steps

For each activity listed in the Action Steps section in the Logical Framework template complete the Resources, Budget (if given in the case), and Due Dates.

Add anticipated resources for each action step/activity. Include all types of resources including human, technical, and physical resources.
Add budget information as provided in the case. If budget information not specifically provided in the case, no budget information is required.

Estimate potential due dates for each action step/activity. These estimates should support the planned/expected end date of the project as defined in the case. Document assumptions made in setting the due dates.
Part 2: RACI Matrix
Complete the RACI Matrix Template. Add rows as needed.
Each action step/activity must be listed in the RACI matrix.

Part 3: PowerPoint Presentation (please create the slide show with detailed notes and I will do the voice over)
Create a short 3-minute presentation discussing the final Logical Framework and how the proposal meets the Goals presented in the­­­ case.

How to Use the RACI Matrix Template
The RACI matrix template is tool to help everyone in the project know what
their role is, so they can work better together.
Step 1: List the Project Tasks
In column 1, beneath the “Project Tasks” header, you will list all of the tasks
that will be completed as part of this project. In our example, we broke the
tasks down into the different project phases in order to keep things more
organized. If you wish, you can remove the project phases and instead just do
a large list of tasks, but we’ve found the project phases to be helpful.
Step 2: List All of Your Team Members
Next, locate the light blue bar. Going from left to right, we are going to add all
of your team members to this section. Include every person in your
organization, even if they won’t be working directly on the project, because
stakeholders are an important part of this document too. We find it helpful to
use the job title / role in this section, but you could also use team member
names instead. We tend to use job titles so that this document is useful to
someone looking at the matrix who may not be familiar with everybody’s
name.
Step 3: Assign R,A,C,I to Each Task
Locate your first task of the project (this should be whichever task you have
listed highest in Column A.) Once you’ve located your first task, move across
the matrix to the right, deciding who will be (R) Responsible for executing the
work on this particular task. Remember, R is for the person who will actually
be performing the work on this task.
Continue moving to the right, and next you will choose who will be (A)
Accountable for this task. The person who you label as (A) Accountable is the
person who will be responsible for ensuring that the task is done properly and
in a timely manner.
Next, you will decide who will be (C) Consulted on this task. Remember, (C)
means that a person will be asked for help or advice on a task, and they will
work with the responsible team member to complete the task. In some cases,
you will not have a C for a task and that’s OK.
Finally, for each task you will decide who is the stakeholder for the task. The
stakeholder will be labeled as (I) Informed. If someone is labeled (I) for this
task, they will be updated about the progress of the task, but they will not
have direct feedback going back to the person responsible for the task. An
informed person is a one way communication, as compared to a consulted
person who has two-way communication about the task. Most tasks will have
an informed person, however there will be some cases where there is no I
needed.
Step 4: Share the Document
Once your RACI chart is fully filled out, it is important to share the document
with all of the team members on this project. This is an important step
because a RACI matrix is most helpful when each team member understands
exactly what their role is at each step of the project.
