During project initiation, a project manager meets with stakeholders to clarify roles and responsibilities for the work ahead. Which activity is primarily the responsibility of the project sponsor rather than the project team?
Performing quality assurance and testing
Providing strategic direction and securing funding
Managing day-to-day activities and coordinating the team
Executing project tasks and producing deliverables
The project sponsor champions the project at the executive level by providing strategic direction, obtaining or approving funding, and authorizing the project charter. The project team is responsible for executing assigned tasks, producing deliverables, and carrying out quality activities, but it does not secure resources or set strategic direction.
