You have just joined a new organization that is fairly weak in its project management processes. After a month, you have determined that the company project approach resembles a complete free-for-all. You are attempting to implement disciplined project processes, starting with the creation of a project charter and with helping management understand what their responsibilities are in supporting projects, companywide. At the kickoff meeting to the newest project, the project sponsor begins to tell the IT professionals how to do their jobs. (The sponsor is an ex-IT manager...) After the meeting, you speak with the sponsor off-line and coach him on his true responsibilities, which include all of the following except:
A.) Providing financial resources for the project.
B.) Defining requirements.
C.) Protecting the project and the team from changing management priorities.
D.) Formal acceptance of the product of the project.
