Project Sponsor 'Contract' Template

 

Format: Sign-off Form

The relationship between PM and sponsor is critical to the success of the project, and yet it frequently fails to deliver what either side needs. A lack of sponsor engagement is frequently cited as one of the major reasons for project failure, and many sponsors will complain that project managers don’t provide them with the level of information that is required to make meaningful decisions. 

This template is intended to provide a framework to document the relationship between these two critical roles. I am calling it a contract, but it should be seen as a mutual commitment to how both roles will act in order to maximize the likelihood of success on the project. Feel free to modify/add content as necessary to make this yours – the benefit is not in the specific wording, but rather in the commitment that both the sponsor and the PM make.
