A LinkedIn group has recently been formed for Project Sponsors. It has grown to 559 members in two months and has, in the opinion of Gower author David West, the most vibrant discussions of any group he has seen. Some of the topics are now spilling across into the APM group.
A common theme he observes is the availability (or lack of it) of a project sponsor and how detrimental a sponsor’s absence is to a project. Even when project sponsors are present, there seem to be few commentators impressed with their level of project knowledge or ability.
David has written an article on this subject of the Elusive Project Sponsor on Wellingtone’s PM Blog.
David West is author of Project Sponsorship, published by Gower.
