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.
Typically, the executive sponsor will assign a full-time business manager from his staff to the program, though outside consultants may be used for expertise and objectivity. But the executive sponsor is ultimately responsible for keeping the project on schedule and on budget and achieving its planned benefits. â¢ Chair the program steering committee. Every major program needs a steering committee to monitor progress, make trade-offs, remove roadblocks and motivate the team.
