One of the most common challenges, we face, as PMO’s is not having a clear sponsor or having sponsors who don’t know what it means to be one. As such, its important we take the time to educate them on what being a sponsor is and how it helps drive successful outcomes.
In this blog post, I will cover:
The importance of a project sponsor
The impacts of an ineffective sponsor
Common myths about ineffective sponsors
Principles for being a good project sponsor
Planning the project change (and how the sponsor plays their parts throughout)
