Breaking Apart the ARCI -A

Accountable -
"1. subject to the obligation to report, explain, or justify something; responsible; answerable.
2. capable of being explained; explicable; explainable."Dictionary.com


Within our ARCI structure, the accountable is listed first for a reason. "A" is where the finger points or, more accordingly, where the point of tensions either begin or end.

This is feeling somewhat negative to me, so let me shine some light: Being accountable is rewarding and challenging. Knowing who is doing what, when, how and why is everything the A is aware of and part of. Within the ARCI, there is no guessing. Everyone falls into place on the chart and is well aware that conflict is on its way before those without an ARCI would.

In our analogy of the "garbage day", Dad is accountable.
