CAPM Practice: Demonstrate an understanding of project roles and responsibilities

Question 76 of 94 in Demonstrate an understanding of project roles and responsibilities

Match each responsibility on the left with the appropriate role on the right. Items: 1. Provides financial resources and high-level decision-making authority 2. Performs the day-to-day work to create project deliverables 3. Coordinates activities, manages constraints, and facilitates team communication 4. Removes organizational impediments and provides strategic direction Which option correctly matches each item to its description?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: 1. Provides financial resources and high-level decision-making authority → Project Sponsor 2. Performs the day-to-day work to create project deliverables → Project Team 3. Coordinates activities, manages constraints, and facilitates team communication → Project Manager 4. Removes organizational impediments and provides strategic direction → Project Sponsor

Explanation

The project sponsor provides resources, decision-making authority, and removes organizational barriers. The project team executes the work. The project manager coordinates activities and manages day-to-day project operations. Two items correctly match to Project Sponsor because sponsors have both financial/decision authority and the responsibility to remove organizational impediments.

**Why not B:** This option assigns financial resources and decision-making authority to the project manager, which is a sponsor responsibility. It also assigns day-to-day work to the project sponsor and coordination to the project sponsor, both of which are incorrect role assignments.

**Why not C:** This option assigns financial resources to the project team and day-to-day work to the project manager. The project team executes work but does not provide financial resources, and the project manager coordinates rather than performing the day-to-day deliverable work.

**Why not D:** While it correctly assigns financial authority to the project sponsor, it incorrectly assigns day-to-day deliverable work to the project manager rather than the project team. The project manager coordinates activities; the team performs the actual work to create deliverables.
