Welcome to the **UIC Roles & Responsibilities** repository. This project serves as an interactive RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed) matrix, providing clear governance and ownership for the various work areas within the UIC Accessibility Engineering Team.
## 🎯 Purpose
In a fast-growing engineering team, clarity is key. This document—and the accompanying interactive tool—aims to:
- **Define Ownership**: Clearly identify who is responsible and accountable for specific domains.
- **Streamline Communication**: Ensure the right people are consulted and informed at the right stages.
- **Enhance Efficiency**: Reduce ambiguity in decision-making and task execution.
---
## 🏗 The RACI Framework
We use the RACI model to categorize participation by various roles in completing tasks or deliverables:
| Symbol | Role | Description |
| :---: | :--- | :--- |
| **R** | **Responsible** | The person who performs the work to complete the task. |
| **A** | **Accountable** | The person who is ultimately answerable for the correct and thorough completion of the task. |
| **C** | **Consulted** | Those whose opinions are sought, typically subject-matter experts. |
| **I** | **Informed** | Those who are kept up-to-date on progress or completion. |
---
## 📂 Core Work Areas
Our team's responsibilities are divided into several key pillars:
- **Fundraising**: Securing the resources necessary for our mission.
- **Support**: Assisting users and maintaining high satisfaction.
- **Training**: Empowering the community through knowledge sharing.
- **Feature Buildout**: Architecting and developing new capabilities.
- **Fixes**: Ensuring stability and addressing technical debt.
- **Roadmap**: Strategic planning and future vision.
- **Accessibility**: Our core mission—ensuring technology works for everyone.
- **Budget**: Managing financial resources and sustainability.
---
## 🚀 Interactive Tool
While this README provides the overview, we have built a **Live Responsibility Matrix** that allows you to:
- **Filter by Team Member**: See exactly what your R/A/C/I assignments are.
- **Toggle Views**: Switch between a card-based "Grid View" and a comprehensive "Table View".
- **Dynamic Updates**: As our team grows, this tool evolves.
