Sponsoring Change Guide announced by APM
Reported by Miles Shepherd in the UK

The Association for Project Management (APM) has launched its latest Governance Guide. Following the ground breaking Directing Change: A Guide to the Governance of Project Management, this new booklet from the world leading APM Governance Specific Interest Group covers the governance aspects of project sponsorship.

Sponsoring Change applies to all types of organisations and sectors. Its use is intended to improve governance, bringing greater rewards to organisations undertaking significant projects as well as to their owners and to wider stakeholders. It explains:
The booklet sets out a comprehensive case for the appointment of a project sponsor and explains in detail the role, responsibilities and organizational context for those embarking on this critical role. The Guide also contains sections on the role of the Sponsor in relation to project stakeholders and on the relationship between the Project Manager and the Sponsor.

With appendices on special cases of organizational context, choosing a sponsor, checklists for sponsors and legal aspects as well as a bibliography, this highly important contribution to professional standards fills a much needed purpose for those seeking clarity on key aspects of project sponsorship.
