Abstract
I decided to write about this subject but an abstract was already done, i'll let it here for the moment, i will delete it afterwards:
%%When a project get out of track the first causes we will think about is the technology, economics, schedules, lack of professional skills or something in that way, and we absolute forget to look back and reflect about the distribution of roles in a project. To get succeed with a project, four key roles should be staged in an early stage at the project:
- Project sponsor - Project leader - Entrepreneur - The Target %%
This wiki-article is made in order to reflect on how important the role of project sponsor is in a project, and actually is the backbone for the entire project, and without whom the project would not be started. This role is often skipped or misdone, which can explain why some projects are failing, or not doing as good as they should. A powerful quote wasn't given by a seniot project manager "I now understand that a project I recently sponsored was not nearly as successful as it could have been—partly due to my not having understood my role as sponsor." [1] We will use some informations taken from the PMI Certificate presentation held in France.[2]. I add there some more references for personnal use[3].
