In the development of an important application affecting the
entire organization, which of the following would be the
MOST appropriate project sponsor?
A. The information systems manager
B. A member of executive management
C. An independent management consultant
D. The manager of the key user department
Answer Posted / guest
Answer: B
The project sponsor puts his/her name on a project to
emphasize its importance to the organization, and to ensure
the commitment and cooperation of management. Where the
development is both important, and affects the entire
organization, the sponsor must be of sufficient corporate
standing to require such cooperation. Therefore, a member of
the executive team is most appropriate. The manager of a
department may not command automatic support from peers, and
the IS manager and an independent consultant are
inappropriate sponsors of such a development.
