Accountability is the obligation for an individual or organization to account for its activities, accept responsibility for them, and disclose the results in a transparent manner.

Here are six ways to build accountability into a project:

  2. Highlight the Inter connected of Tasks.
  3. Get Commitments on Action Items.
  4. Publicly Follow Up on Action Items.

  6. Escalate Performance Issues When Necessary.
