CAPM Practice: Demonstrate an understanding of project roles and responsibilities

The project team's primary responsibility is to perform the technical work to create deliverables according to the project plan. While team members may interact with the sponsor, they typically report through the project manager and focus on execution rather than strategic oversight.

**Why not A:** Removing organizational barriers and securing resources is the project sponsor's responsibility. The sponsor operates at the organizational level to clear the path for the project, while the team focuses on executing the technical work.

**Why not B:** Making strategic decisions about scope and budget changes is a sponsor or change control board responsibility. The project team provides input and technical expertise but does not have authority over strategic project decisions.

**Why not D:** The project team typically reports to the project manager, not directly to the sponsor on all activities. The PM serves as the communication conduit between the team and the sponsor, managing day-to-day coordination.
