Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Sponsor
The PRINCE2 project management team structure includes the Project Board (Executive, Senior User, Senior Supplier), Project Manager, Team Manager, and optionally the Change Authority. The Project Sponsor is not a defined role in PRINCE2; instead, the Executive role fulfills the sponsorship responsibilities. Therefore, option A is correct as the role that does NOT exist in the PRINCE2 framework.
