A project manager is establishing governance for a cross-functional IT infrastructure project. The sponsor has delegated decision-making authority for budget changes up to $50,000 and schedule changes up to two weeks. The project manager needs to document how larger deviations will be handled. What should the project manager do?

Document the sponsor's limits and assume the project management office will handle any larger issues.

Define escalation thresholds and routes for decisions exceeding the delegated authority.

Proceed with the project and address deviations only if they occur.

Request that the sponsor delegate full authority for all budget and schedule decisions.

A project manager is designing a reporting mechanism for a project with a remote team. The sponsor wants to see real-time progress, but the team is concerned about the overhead of frequent updates. The organization has a policy that all project data must be stored on approved platforms. What should the project manager do?

Require the team to send daily email updates to the sponsor.

Hold weekly meetings to review progress, and share minutes via email.

Use an approved project management tool that provides a real-time dashboard and requires minimal manual updates.

Use a personal cloud storage service to share reports, as it is convenient.

A project manager is setting up reporting for a project with multiple stakeholders. The steering committee wants to see progress against milestones, while the finance department wants to see budget variance. What should the project manager do?

Report only on milestones, as they are the most important metric.

Create separate reports tailored to each stakeholder group's needs.
