What is the purpose of a Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM)?

To budget financial resources for the project
To ensure all tasks meet quality standards
To relate project roles and responsibilities to project scope
To assign organizational tasks to external vendors

The correct answer is: To relate project roles and responsibilities to project scope

The correct answer is C. A Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) is a project management tool used to relate project roles and responsibilities to the project scope. It helps to clarify who is responsible for what tasks and activities within a project, ensuring that there is clarity and accountability among team members. This matrix helps in avoiding confusion and overlapping responsibilities, ultimately contributing to the successful completion of the project. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because a RAM is specifically designed to assign roles and responsibilities in relation to the project scope, rather than budgeting financial resources, ensuring quality standards, or assigning tasks to external vendors.
