Exam CCDM Topic 3 Question 82 Discussion

RACI is a project management and governance framework used to define roles and responsibilities within a project. Each letter represents a distinct role type:
Responsible (R): The person(s) who perform the work or execute the task.
Accountable (A): The individual ultimately answerable for the task's completion and success (only one per activity).
Consulted (C): Subject matter experts who provide input or guidance before decisions are made.
Informed (I): Individuals kept up to date on progress or outcomes but not directly involved in execution.
The RACI model ensures clarity in ownership and accountability, preventing duplication of effort or responsibility confusion. It is a key component of the GCDMP (Chapter: Project Management in Data Management) for ensuring clear delegation and communication within clinical data management teams.
Hence, option D is correct.
