Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM)

Description

The RAM report identifies the control accounts (CA) that intersects with the CWBS and responsible OBS.

The RAM is typically developed after the CWBS is completed. The contract program manager works with various control account managers to identify the responsible OBS for each control account.

The RAM is published and distributed for approval as part of the organization EVM business processes.

No specific U.S. federal government standards exist for the RAM.
