RUP Roles and Responsibilities Matrix

This document provides a Roles and Responsibilities (R&R) Matrix for a project using the Rational Unified Process (RUP). The matrix lists project artifacts along the top and defines roles along the left side. For each artifact, one role is designated as Responsible for delivering it while other roles may be Consulting. The matrix assigns individuals to roles. Instructions explain how to use the matrix to understand accountability for artifacts and involvement of roles. The matrix is meant to facilitate understanding of project roles and act as a reference throughout the project lifecycle.

Instructions
The RUP Roles and Responsiblities Matrix helps project participants to clearly understand the role
they are expected to perform and the artifacts associated with that role. Along the top, or
horizontal axis, is a list of all the artifacts that the project will produce during the project lifecycle.
These artifacts will have been defined prior to the start of the project and will be documented in the
Development Case. Along the left vertical axis is a list of defined roles required for a project.
Not all projects require every role. On the far right side of the matrix are the
names of each individual who will be performing these roles. In some cases there may be more
than one name for a particular role (e.g. Implementer).

Each artifact is assigned one role/ individual who is Responsible (R) for the delivery of the artifact.
Each artifact can also have a number of other roles who are involved or Consulted (C) in is
creation. It is important to have only one role responsible for the creation of an artifact so there is
accountability for its delivery, however, there can be a number of individuals consulted in its
creation. To determine who is responsible for an artifact look up and down each column (looking
across the rows will show how many artifacts a specific role is responsible for creating).

The R&R Matrix can be hyperlinked to definitions of each artifact and examples of the processes
for the creation of the artifact. The R&R Matrix is intended to be a lightweight mechanism to
faciltate the understanding of project roles within a project and to act as a easy reference for
project participants and stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.

Larger projects might require separate R&R matrices for each phase of the project (Inception,
Elaboration, Construction, Transition).

This matrix is intended to act as an example only.
