During project planning, the project manager and sponsor are drafting the governance plan. They agree to document clear escalation paths and set quantitative thresholds for schedule and cost deviations. From the perspective of project governance, what primary purpose do these escalation paths and thresholds serve once the project is underway?
To directly resolve resource constraints and allocate additional resources effectively
To track the performance of team members and manage evaluations
To ensure that issues are addressed by the appropriate level of management at the correct time
To reduce the overall risks associated with the project by involving senior management
Escalation paths and thresholds create a structured mechanism that routes issues or decisions to the level of authority with sufficient power to act when predefined limits are exceeded. This ensures timely, effective resolution aligned with governance rules. Tracking team performance, reallocating resources, or broadly reducing risk may occur elsewhere, but they are not the principal aim of escalation procedures.
