DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION

Sponsorship is one of the three key foundations of Change Management together with Communication & Engagement and Stakeholder Management. The project sponsor is one, and only one, level above the project manager. They do not manage the day to day operations of the project but they ensure the resources are in place, promote the project, and hold overall responsibility for the project's success. They represent the business side of the project

Sponsors are business leaders who play a key role in promoting, advocating and shaping projectÂwork. They oversee the project and programme management functions and remains accountable for ensuring the realisation of the specified benefits over time.

Project sponsors are one of the many gears that drive a project to a successful end. They are especially important as they have the power to approve or disapprove changes in order to keep projects aligned with business strategy. Therefore, you want to keep them well-informed. If you want to integrate the project sponsor better.

They bring together financial and non-financial considerations, with a risk analysis for the investment that enables decision-makers to have an indication of the confidence they have in the projected

While the project sponsor may not be involved in the day-to-day operations of the project in usual circumstances, he/she is the champion of the project. Project managers (PMs) should be able to rely on the sponsor to be involved in the project beyond just the initial support of initiating the project. The larger the project, the more involvement that might be required from the sponsor to help ensure a successful end result.
