Senior Responsible Owner (SRO/Executive)
In PRINCE2, the Project Board is chaired by the Executive, also known as the Senior Responsible Owner (SRO). The Executive is ultimately accountable for the project's success and ensures the business case remains viable. The Project Manager manages day-to-day activities but does not chair board meetings.
