0 comments
In the link below I publish a post which fits up several and complex situations and experiences about when your sponsor fail in your project support.

Project Management | Effective Project Sponsors Needed: Relevant Experience and Education Definitely Required | Articles

Topics and sentences for summanrising:
* "One solid, engaged, accountable project sponsor is very good. Two solid, engaged, accountable project sponsors are OK but more difficult to manage. Having more than two sponsors isn’t effective at all."
* "If your kickoff meeting is likely to be nothing more than a social occasion, or if the project sponsor will simply sprinkle a little holy water on the project and then disappear, don’t bother having one. Here’s a warning sign."
* "some people think that a project sponsor might be able to do that job without any training at all."
* And the best one :"“OK, now that I’ve heard everyone’s input, I’m going to make a decision, ‘cause that’s my job as project sponsor. The decision is option A. The decision is not option B. Does everyone here understand that I’ve decided on A and not B? Please nod your head to show that you understand."
