One of the trainings we do frequently at HubSpot is review the DARCI project management model. [Here is the model in a spreadsheet you can use](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UnApo54-lIYsZA369VT5ScdEBEY4mddqOTNWu1N1lBs/edit#gid=0). What project management models do you use, and how do they work? Let me know in the comments.

To use the DARCI model, you create a table of project stakeholders who:

- make the final decision

- accountable person (individual)

- are responsible for action

- need to be consulted

- should stay informed on progress

We generally use DARCI for:

- Big events like a 1x year department kickoff
- Cross-functional marketing campaigns
- Smaller, in-team project where there is 1 directly responsible person (DRI)
