Exercise: Creating a Responsibility Chart

Scenario: You are a project manager for a new oil and gas exploration project. The project involves several key tasks, including:

• Site Selection: Identifying and evaluating potential drilling locations
• Environmental Impact Assessment: Assessing the environmental impact of the project
• Permitting and Approvals: Obtaining necessary permits and approvals from regulatory bodies
• Drilling Operations: Planning and executing the drilling process
• Production Optimization: Optimizing the production of oil and gas from the well

Task: Create a Responsibility Chart for this project, identifying the key stakeholders involved and assigning them appropriate roles (R, A, C, I) for each task.

Key Stakeholders:

• Project Manager: Responsible for overall project management
• Exploration Team: Responsible for site selection and geological assessment
• Environmental Consultant: Responsible for environmental impact assessment
• Legal Team: Responsible for permitting and approvals
• Drilling Crew: Responsible for drilling operations
• Production Team: Responsible for production optimization

Instructions:

1. Create a table with the tasks listed as rows and the stakeholders listed as columns.
2. Fill in each cell with the appropriate role (R, A, C, I) for each stakeholder in each task.

Example:

| Task | Project Manager | Exploration Team | Environmental Consultant | ... | |---|---|---|---|---| | Site Selection | R | A | C | ... | | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
