The Project Sponsor is the individual (often a manager or executive) with overall accountability for the project. The Project Sponsor is primarily concerned with ensuring that the project delivers the agreed business benefits. The Project Sponsor acts as the representative of the organisation, and plays a vital leadership role through: 1  providing 'championship' for the project, selling and marketing the project throughout the organisation. 2  providing business expertise and guidance to the Project Manager.
* A project sponsor, at a level that is appropriate to funding the project, authorizes the project by approving a project charter. Projects are usually chartered and authorized external to the project. * On some projects, the sponsor may also be part of the project team. As sponsors have a major share in the projectâs success, and therefore, at times, may take an active role on the project team. * For issues that are beyond the control of the project manager, the sponsor serves as an escalation path.
