Role of the project sponsor, and why IT is not always the project sponsor -
correct answer ✔The project sponsor:
- often develops the initial vision of the new system
- makes sure the project is moving in the right direction from the perspective
of the business
- serves as primary point of contact for the project team
One of the project sponsor's goal is to make sure the project is in line with the
business perspective. Therefore the project sponsor should come from a
business function such as marketing, accounting, or finance. This explains
why IT is not always the project sponsor.
An IT person may not be very knowledgeable about the business and its
operation - the project should be based on a business need, not just on
technology. Often the IT department is not familiar with all of the needs or
processes in other departments. The project sponsor will usually have a great
level of understanding which can help develop new systems for specific
business purposes.
