RACI vs RASCI issue in ARIS.

G'day Ganesh,

this is my best experience with selection of connection types for RASCI:

R: carries out (Type no. 218, CT_EXEC_2)

A: decides on (Type no. 323, CT_DECD_ON)

S: contributes to (Type no. 324, CT_CONTR_TO_2)

C: has consulting role in (Type no. 355, CT_HAS_CONSLT_ROLE_IN_1)

I: must be informed about (Type no. 326, CT_MUST_BE_INFO_ABT_2)

If you like you could rename those connections in the method to better resemble the terms used in the RASCI definition.

As to the difference between S and C: The S role is actually helping the R role in performing frequently. Actually S and R role have to work together to perform the task, while the R role is the responsible role for executing. The C role is consulted infrequently, so is just a "counsel for difficult or special cases". It does not perform actively. Also see Wikipedia on this topic.

Please test this, if it does what you want in the Publisher. In Connect this works well, although Connect does not offer the S column up to Connect 9.6. (I have not tested in 9.7). I would love to hear from you, if this would be successful.

Hi M Zshuckelt,

Thanks for your suggestion.

We've renamed the "Contributes to" connection type as "Supports" to align with a RASCI term.

No matter, which connection type I try, I'm unable to get an "S" connection in the RASCI\RACI matrix on ABP.

I've included a screenshot of the ABP screen.

Cheers

Ganesh

Hi Ganesh,

the mapping of ARIS connection types to R-A-C-I is predefined in the RACI matrix configuration file.

In ABP we do not support the 'S'.  Renaming a connection type does not change the original mapping.

It is possible to customize the basic configuration. In this case you have to change the configuration file.

Regards,

Jutta
