Question 79 of 94 in Demonstrate an understanding of project roles and responsibilities

Match each responsibility on the left with the role that is PRIMARY accountable for it on the right. Items: 1. Provides financial resources and high-level direction 2. Manages day-to-day project activities and deliverables 3. Executes assigned work packages and creates deliverables 4. Champions the project with senior leadership Which option correctly matches each item to its description?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: 1. Provides financial resources and high-level direction → Project Sponsor 2. Manages day-to-day project activities and deliverables → Project Manager 3. Executes assigned work packages and creates deliverables → Project Team 4. Champions the project with senior leadership → Project Sponsor

Explanation

The project sponsor provides funding and strategic direction while championing the project at the executive level. The project manager handles day-to-day management and coordination. The project team performs the actual work to create deliverables. Understanding these distinct responsibilities is essential for effective project execution.

**Why not A:** This option incorrectly assigns day-to-day management to the Project Team and work execution to the Project Manager. The Project Manager handles day-to-day management, while the Project Team executes the actual work packages and creates deliverables.

**Why not B:** This option reverses nearly every role assignment. The Project Team does not provide financial resources, the Project Sponsor does not manage day-to-day activities, and the Project Manager does not champion the project with senior leadership.

**Why not C:** This option incorrectly assigns financial resources to the Project Manager and work execution to the Project Sponsor. The Project Sponsor provides funding and direction, while the Project Team performs the hands-on work of creating deliverables.
