RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) is a role-clarity matrix some companies ask product teams to adopt so it's explicit who owns which decisions.
Chris Jones (SVPG) advises against imposing RACI on product teams: it forces people into rigid "this is my job, that's your job" silos, which contradicts the collaborative, full cross-functional ownership the best teams run on instead — see Misconception: PM Owns the 'What', Engineering Just Executes the 'How'. Supporting evidence cited for collaborative (non-siloed) ownership: "When I look back at the coolest product innovations, really the best ideas, nearly all of them came from engineers on the team" — a benefit RACI-style role partitioning tends to suppress.
Compare DACI (Decision-Role Matrix) as Product-Team Anti-Pattern, a similar decision-rights matrix that draws the same critique.
