  • Accountable:
  • This person is ultimately answerable for the correct and timely completion of the task or deliverable. It is the only one who approves the work of the responsible people. For a task or deliverable, there can be one and only one accountable person.

  • These stakeholders have a role in providing information, inputs, or advice for the task or deliverable; they are consulted or actively involved in the discussion. But they are not the ones who do the work. For a task or deliverable, there can be one or more consulted people.
