Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: 1. Removing organizational impediments to project success → Project Sponsor 2. Creating the work breakdown structure → Project Manager 3. Approving the project charter → Project Sponsor 4. Executing assigned project tasks and deliverables → Project Team Member

Explanation

The project sponsor removes organizational barriers and approves the charter, providing authority and resources. The project manager creates planning documents like the WBS and coordinates work. Project team members execute the actual work and create deliverables. These distinctions clarify the separation of strategic authorization (sponsor), tactical planning (PM), and operational execution (team).

**Why not A:** This option incorrectly assigns impediment removal to the team member and task execution to the sponsor. The sponsor removes organizational barriers, and team members execute tasks. Swapping these roles contradicts the established responsibility separation.

**Why not C:** This option assigns impediment removal to the PM (it belongs to the sponsor), WBS creation to the sponsor (it belongs to the PM), charter approval to the team member (it belongs to the sponsor), and task execution to the sponsor (it belongs to the team member). Every match is incorrect.

**Why not D:** This option correctly pairs impediment removal with the sponsor but incorrectly assigns WBS creation to the team member, charter approval to the sponsor (correct), and task execution to the PM. The PM creates the WBS, and team members execute assigned tasks — not the reverse.
