On a courthouse annex renovation, who primarily funds and champions the business case while the project manager plans and delivers day-to-day work?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Think of the sponsor as the project's backer and cheerleader with the checkbook. On the courthouse annex, that person funds and champions the business case. The project manager still owns the day-to-day planning and delivery.
Full Explanation
In CAPM fundamentals, the sponsor supplies organizational authority, funding, and high-level vision, while the project manager plans, executes, and controls delivery. Distinguishing those roles prevents the sponsor from being treated as a substitute scheduler or the PM from being treated as the sole funding owner. Civic projects still follow the same sponsor-versus-PM split.
