RESOURCES COMPETENCIES AND SKILL

The Business Project Manager works in a business area and is responsible for the successful delivery of an entire project, end to end, that could have work-streams in many business areas. 

The Project Manager is accountable to the Project Sponsor for the successful delivery of the Project Objectives.

The Project Manager leads the Project Team which will often include Managers for specific Work streams (often, one of the Work stream Managers in the Project Team will be the IS Project Manager).
