Assigning RACI roles

I like this idea. I think roles would also be helpful in templates. For example, instead of assigning a designer to every design task every time they setup a new project, the template would have the design role assigned to every design task. Then when the project is created the template would ask who the designer is and the template would auto-assign all tasks with the design role.  

Agree this would be really useful. We currently assign multiple people to tasks, but this leads to overload on the To do list, and seems to reduce accountability. Would be useful to have a formal way to track the various roles in a task within wrike without everyone being "assigned". 

Agree - there may be many tasks that I am "responsible" for, but other team members will be completing with guidance. 

This would be a helpful addition and reduce the "to do" list, with many items out of my direct control, but that I need to be aware of. 

I am just starting a blueprint for a schedule and we have many tasks that many be assigned to one individual to complete ("responsible"), but many other people need to be "informed".  Rather than adding those people as assignees (misleading that they are also supposed to do the work), it would be nice to have a RACI matrix where I could list (or tag) others so that they stay in the loop.

This is a feature I would find really useful too- even more granularity for team members to see quickly what their level of interaction with a given task is! Yes please!

Hello @Elaine, 

Is there any progress in this idea?

Thanks, 

Ignacio

How do I create a RACI chart for a project in Wrike? Is there a way to import a template? No clear to me. 

Hi Grace Scire, welcome to the forums 👋

I'd suggest taking a look at one of our templates called Project RACI. You can read how to use the template in this post, and please let me know if you have any questions 🙂
