Groundwork

The activities and results have to be decided upon, and the stakeholders should have been identified. This tool then determines and reports the exact task division. A participation matrix may well follow after making a LogFrame.

Process

Deciding on who does what in an institutional change process may take one or a few hours in a plenary meeting, but is more often communicated over through emails and telephone calls over a period of a few weeks.

Follow up

As probably indicated in the matrix, one or more actors will steer the whole process and check whether everybody does his or her part satisfactorily. If not agreed beforehand, the activities need to be planned in time.

Requirements and limitations

It is a common sense matrix, which leaves the assessment and decision of who can best do what to the users of the matrix.
