CAPM Practice: Demonstrate an understanding of project roles and responsibilities
Question 83 of 94 in Demonstrate an understanding of project roles and responsibilities
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: 1. Provides financial resources and champions the project at executive level → Project Sponsor 2. Facilitates daily stand-up meetings and removes team impediments → Project Manager 3. Executes assigned tasks and delivers project work products → Project Team Member 4. Makes final decisions on scope changes and approves major deliverables → Project Sponsor
Explanation
Project Sponsors provide funding and executive-level support, including final approval authority. Project Managers facilitate daily work and remove obstacles. Project Team Members execute the actual work. Note that both 'Provides financial resources' and 'Makes final decisions on scope changes' match to Project Sponsor, while Functional Manager is a distractor with no correct match.
**Why not A:** This option incorrectly assigns the project team member role to providing financial resources and the project manager role to executing assigned tasks. Financial resources come from the sponsor, and task execution is done by team members, not the project manager.
**Why not B:** This option mismatches all four items. Team members do not provide financial resources, the sponsor does not facilitate standups, the sponsor does not execute assigned tasks, and the project manager does not make final scope change decisions.
**Why not D:** This option assigns funding authority to the project manager and daily facilitation to team members, both of which are incorrect. The project manager facilitates daily work, while funding authority belongs to the sponsor.
