Question
It's important to have only one Responsible for each activity in the RACI model to ensure clear accountability and avoid confusion. When multiple people are responsible, it can lead to ambiguity about who should be doing what, which can result in tasks falling through the cracks. Having one person responsible ensures that there's a clear point of contact for each task, which can improve efficiency and effectiveness.

Responsible – this role does the work to complete the activity. Only one role is responsible, but other team members can help if needed. Accountable – this role green lights the completion of the deliverable to fulfill the activity. Only one party is accountable for each individual task or deliverable. Consulted – this role is an individual or a group who is consulted to provide opinions or technical expertise required to complete an activity or deliverable. Normally, they are subject-matter experts who are in communication with the people responsible for activities. Informed – these team members are notified of progress, most of the time, only when a task or deliverable is already completed.
