Project Sponsor – The Role and Responsibilities
Successful initiation of a new project is always based on project sponsorship. If the project is well funded by project sponsors, it has the required financial foundation to carry out works, achieve objectives and produce deliverables.
Project sponsor is a person(s) or an organization(s) that is in charge of driving the project towards directions that will bring the project to successful realization of expected benefits. Project sponsor finances project initiatives and works, takes care of engagement processes, facilitates development of the initial scope and the project charter, and participates in processes of project communications management.
