An MM 2.0™ Compliant Quick Guide
A project sponsor can make an impact on the success of the project he is sponsoring. This Quick Guide walks you through the process of sponsoring a project throughout its lifecycle and ultimately guide it to success.
Connecting the Dots
Projects benefit from having sponsors who are highly invested in their success and remain involved in each phase of the project. Instead of micromanaging, this means supporting and facilitating project work. A sponsor, usually a senior leader with an organization-wide perspective, knows how each project aligns with overall strategy, how it fits into the portfolio of projects, and its level of priority to the organization. A sponsor is thus in the best position to provide the project leader with an organizational perspective, help manage key stakeholder relationships, as well as leverage organizational knowledge and resources.
