CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 493

A company is starting a new project. There are a few departments that do not agree with the deliverables and have gone to the steering committee to explain their position. Which of the following stakeholders is MOST responsible for defending the project?

Answer options

• A. Project sponsor
• B. Project manager
• C. Project management office
• D. Project coordinator

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The project sponsor is primarily responsible for championing the project and ensuring it aligns with organizational goals, making them the key advocate in this scenario. The project manager oversees day-to-day operations, while the project management office provides support and governance, and the project coordinator assists in logistics but does not hold the primary accountability for defending the project.
