I'm looking for clear definitions of Roles & Responsibilities for persons related to projects - not so much Project Team member roles, but the peripheral roles of folks who help sponsor & guide projects.
which is quite helpful, however I'm looking to see if any of you have different definitions of roles and responsibilities for Executive Sponsors, Guidance Teams, Resource Managers, etc.
Thanks in advance! Saving Changes...

In many ways a project team is like any other team. There are the players, the coaches, the fans, etc. Each plays a role and the better those roles are defined the less confusion there is. However, part of each person's role should be to back-up others so that there is good depth on the bench and in the field. With that said, here are some thoughts related to the role of the project sponsor. The project sponsor is the person within the organization that champions the projects business case. Often they are the link between the team and top management. Hopefully they are on the executive committee. They have a "dog in the fight" so to speak and can bring the proper forces to bear when needed to remove political roadblocks and other obstructions. They look to the project manager for timely and accurate status reports and rarely get involved in the day-to-day management of the project's progress. This may be just common sense, hope it helps.
