Which RACI role has the information and capability necessary to complete the work and may provide resources, and is sharable?

• A. Inform
• B. Accountable
• C. Consult
• D. Responsible

Answer: (C)

In RACI, the role that brings in the necessary knowledge and may supply resources to help get the work done is the one focused on providing input and guidance. This role is consulted for their expertise and the information they can share, and their input is used to inform the team’s approach. They aren’t the ones who execute the task themselves, but their knowledge and access to resources can be drawn upon to enable the work to proceed effectively. That’s why this role is the best fit for having the information and capability to complete the work and for offering resources that can be utilized across the team. The other roles serve different purposes—one actually does the work, another owns the overall accountability, and the last is kept informed—so they don’t align as closely with the described responsibility and sharing of resources.
