To incorporate the Platform Engineering role, the Design Team role, and the previously added technical design activities (Technical Design Specification and Technical Design Review) into the RACI matrix for the working model of global and local tech teams, I’ll update the matrix to include these roles and activities while ensuring clarity and avoiding overlap. The Design Team role will focus on user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design, which complements the technical design activities and supports the overall solution delivery process. I’ll also revise Slide 4 of the 5-slide PowerPoint presentation to reflect the updated RACI matrix, keeping it concise and visually engaging for presentation purposes.
Updated RACI Matrix with Platform Engineering, Design Team, and Technical Design Activities
The RACI matrix (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) now includes the Platform Engineering and Design Team roles, along with the technical design activities (Technical Design Specification and Technical Design Review). The matrix covers the full solution delivery process, with clear delineations to accommodate the expanded team structure.

Updated PowerPoint Slide 4: RACI Matrix
To accommodate the Platform Engineering role, Design Team role, and technical design activities in Slide 4 while keeping it concise for a 5-slide deck, I’ll present a simplified matrix with key activities, including the new technical design and UX/UI activities, and a note referencing the full matrix. The slide will remain visually clear and presentation-ready.
Slide 4: RACI Matrix: Roles & Responsibilities
- Title: RACI Matrix: Roles & Responsibilities
- Content:
- Simplified table (7 key activities to fit slide, including technical design and UX/UI):
Activity Global Lead Stream Delivery Stream Tech Local Lead Developers Project Manager Platform Eng. Design Team Product Owner Gather Requirements A C C R C C C C C Define Scope A C I C I R C C C Technical Design Specification C C A C C C C C C Technical Design Review C C R C C C C C C UX/UI Design C C C C I C I R A Code Development I I A C R C C I C Testing & Deployment C C C R A C A C C - Note: “Full RACI matrix with additional roles and activities in project documentation.”
- Legend: R = Responsible, A = Accountable, C = Consulted, I = Informed.
- Simplified table (7 key activities to fit slide, including technical design and UX/UI):
- Visuals:
- Table: Color-coded cells (e.g., green for R, blue for A, yellow for C, gray for I).
- Icons: Role-based avatars above columns (e.g., globe for Global Lead, gears for Stream Tech Leads, clipboard for Project Manager, server for Platform Engineering, palette for Design Team) from PowerPoint’s icon library or Flaticon.
- Callout Box: Small legend box in bottom-right corner.
- Formatting Tips:
- Font: Arial, 9-11pt for table text (adjust for readability), 20pt for title.
- Use subtle cell shading for distinction (e.g., light green, blue, yellow, gray).
- Center-align table; add a thin border for clarity.
- Include a small note (8pt font) for the full matrix reference.
- Maintain consistent color scheme (e.g., blue, gray, white) to match other slides.
- Use minimal animations (e.g., “Appear” for table rows) for live presentations.
- Purpose: Clarify roles for key activities, including technical design and UX/UI, ensuring accountability across the expanded team structure.
Additional Notes
- Why Simplified for Slide: The full 16-activity, 10-role RACI matrix is too large for a single slide. The simplified version includes 7 critical activities and 9 roles (omitting Stakeholders to fit) while noting the full matrix’s availability in documentation.
- Visual Sources:
- Icons: PowerPoint’s built-in icons or free resources like Flaticon (e.g., globe, gears, clipboard, server, palette).
- Table Design: Use PowerPoint’s table tool (Insert → Table) with custom shading.
- Professional Formatting:
- Ensure table text is legible (minimum 9pt font, adjust if needed).
- Use a consistent color palette across slides (e.g., blue for Global, green for Local, purple for Design).
- Save as PPTX for editing and PDF for sharing to preserve formatting.
This updated RACI matrix incorporates the Platform Engineering and Design Team roles, along with Technical Design Specification and Technical Design Review activities, providing a comprehensive framework for role responsibilities. The revised Slide 4 fits seamlessly into the 5-slide PowerPoint deck, balancing detail and brevity. If you need further adjustments, additional activities, or help with PowerPoint implementation, let me know!
To address your request, I’ll update the RACI matrix by replacing the Design Team role with the Technical Design Team role, while keeping the Platform Engineering role and the technical design activities (Technical Design Specification and Technical Design Review) previously added. The Technical Design Team will focus on technical design aspects (e.g., system design, component specifications) rather than UX/UI design, aligning more closely with the technical aspects of the solution delivery process. I’ll ensure the matrix remains clear, avoids overlap, and covers the full solution delivery process. Additionally, I’ll revise Slide 4 of the 5-slide PowerPoint presentation to reflect the updated RACI matrix, keeping it concise and visually engaging.
Updated RACI Matrix with Platform Engineering, Technical Design Team, and Technical Design Activities
The RACI matrix (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) now includes the Platform Engineering and Technical Design Team roles, with the technical design activities (Technical Design Specification and Technical Design Review) and a modified UX/UI Design activity redefined as System Interface Design to align with the Technical Design Team’s focus on technical system interfaces rather than user-facing UX/UI. The matrix covers the full solution delivery process with clear role delineations.
