Episode 6 — Assign roles and responsibilities so accountability is visible and enforceable (1A2)
This episode teaches you how to make governance real by defining roles and responsibilities in a way that produces action, not ambiguity. You’ll examine how accountability differs from responsibility, why “everyone owns it” usually means no one does, and how to use role definitions to prevent governance gaps between business, IT, risk, security, architecture, and delivery teams. We’ll cover practical tools such as RACI-style thinking, decision matrices, approval thresholds, and escalation triggers, but the focus stays on outcomes: decisions get made on time, controls are executed, and ownership can be proven when something goes wrong. You’ll walk through examples like who owns data classification, who approves exceptions to architecture standards, and who is accountable for benefits realization after a project launches. These patterns align closely to exam questions that test whether governance roles are defined and auditable.
