CAPM Practice: Demonstrate an understanding of project roles and responsibilities

Question 46 of 94 in Demonstrate an understanding of project roles and responsibilities

Match each responsibility on the left with the correct role on the right for Emeka Virtanen's project at Halcyon Networks. Items: 1. Provides financial resources and high-level direction 2. Manages day-to-day project activities and deliverables 3. Executes assigned work and produces deliverables 4. Removes organizational obstacles to project success 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 and produces deliverables → Project Team 4. Removes organizational obstacles to project success → Project Sponsor

Explanation

The project sponsor secures funding, provides strategic direction, and removes organizational barriers. The project manager handles daily execution and coordination. The project team performs the technical work to create deliverables. Sponsors operate at the organizational level while project managers focus on project-level activities.

**Why not A:** This option incorrectly assigns "provides financial resources" to the project manager and "executes assigned work" to the project sponsor. The project manager manages daily activities, while the sponsor provides funding and direction.

**Why not B:** This option reverses the sponsor and team roles. The project team does not provide financial resources, and the sponsor does not manage day-to-day activities. These responsibilities are fundamentally misassigned.

**Why not C:** This option incorrectly assigns "manages day-to-day activities" to the project team and "executes assigned work" to the project manager. The project manager coordinates daily work, while the team performs the hands-on execution of deliverables.
