Which of the following best describes a key difference between the responsibilities of a project manager and a project sponsor?
The project manager defines the project's business case, while the project sponsor manages the project team.
The project manager provides strategic direction for the project, while the project sponsor handles day-to-day management tasks.
The project sponsor is responsible for securing project funding, whereas the project manager focuses on achieving project objectives within constraints.
The project sponsor supervises the technical work of the project, while the project manager approves changes to project scope.
The project sponsor is responsible for securing project funding and providing high-level strategic guidance, ensuring the project aligns with organizational goals. The project manager focuses on planning, executing, and delivering the project within the defined constraints of scope, time, and cost. This distinction highlights their complementary roles. The other options incorrectly assign responsibilities or reverse these roles: strategic direction is typically provided by the sponsor, not the project manager; defining the business case is usually the sponsor's role, whereas managing the team is the project manager's responsibility; supervising technical work is handled by the project manager, not the sponsor.
