What is the purpose for using a responsibility matrix to solve problems?
Correct Answer
The purpose for using a responsibility matrix is to assign who is going to do what, when, and with what effect.
The responsibility matrix is used primarily to hold people accountable to items in a plan of action. For example: Each of three employees has been asked to perform a task. The responsibility matrix gives the employees the specific task they have to do and when it needs to be done. It also asks them to summarize the effect the completion of their task has.

Correct Answer
Who will do what, when, and to what effect?
Any action plan that includes a number of must-do tasks is a perfect candidate for a responsibility matrix.
Employees in manufacturing environments will need to know who will be doing what and when, and to what effect. Why? Because the team needs to complete all the tasks in the action plan, and the matrix questions will hold people accountable.

Correct!
What items and how many of them can be used in a responsibility matrix?
Correct Answer
A responsibility matrix can handle as many cells as needed for an action plan.
The more detailed the responsibility matrix, the clearer the directions are and the clearer the accountability will be. For example, use start and stop dates, add budget requirements, and list other resources.
