Responsibility matrix FAQs

What is the project responsibility matrix?

It is a planning framework covering 32 critical deliverables with suggested accountability and contributors. It is not legal, engineering, safety, financial or project-management certification.

Does it replace a professional project manager or adviser?

No. It helps structure ownership and questions. Qualified professionals remain responsible for defining, verifying and signing their work.

Are the preloaded risks complete?

No. They are starting prompts. The actual site, contracts, design, procurement, community, environment and operations require project-specific risks.

Does a low risk score prove that the project is safe?

No. Scores reflect user selections and can never replace investigation, evidence, controls, monitoring or professional judgement.

Can more than one person contribute to a deliverable?

Yes, but one accountable role should normally own the final decision and evidence while contributors support it.

Where are assignments and risk selections stored?

They stay in local storage in this browser unless the user deliberately copies a summary or submits an enquiry.

Is personal information included in the tool?

The tools do not ask for personal contact data. Contact details are only entered in the separate enquiry form when the user chooses.

How often should the register be reviewed?

Review it at every decision gate and whenever land, design, cost, contract, programme, approval, operator or opening assumptions change.

Who can change a risk status?

The project should define authority, evidence requirements and review frequency. A browser selection alone is not formal project approval.

What does accountable mean in the responsibility matrix?

It identifies the single role expected to own the decision and final evidence, not necessarily the person performing every task.

Can these tools be used for an existing hotel?

Yes, after adapting the risks and deliverables to live operations, asset condition, current contracts and actual performance evidence.

What happens after requesting a governance review?

The enquiry provides context for a human scope discussion. It creates no appointment, approval, quotation, contract or payment.
