# Our Responsibility Assignment Matrixes: RACI & CODE-KS

To **maintain clarity and accountability**, we utilize the **RACI matrix for cross-department processes and the CODE-KS matrix for in-department processes.** These matrices help us track roles, responsibilities, and progress efficiently.

### RACI MATRIX

The RACI matrix is a snapshot of all the roles within a cross-department process. It allows us to track accountability and visualize who is responsible for tasks and make sure all assignments are running effectively. This way every member of a project can be informed and easily updated on the progress. It usually contains only 4 roles people can be assigned to, but in LUNR we have 6. They are:

### CODE-KS MATRIX

The CODE-KS matrix is used for in-department processes and it defines the accountability of each team member in every part of every process. An employee can be accountable for the process:
