Project Assurance
Why it's wrong here
Project Assurance is a role that provides independent oversight of the project on behalf of the project board. They are not a member of the board themselves. They ensure that the project is being conducted properly and may report to the board. The board comprises the Executive, Senior User, and Senior Supplier. Project Assurance supports the board but does not have decision-making authority.
- ✗
Team Manager
Why it's wrong here
The Team Manager is responsible for managing a team to produce products. They are not part of the project board. They report to the Project Manager and focus on delivering specialist products. The project board consists of the Executive, Senior User, and Senior Supplier. Team Managers may attend board meetings if invited, but they are not board members.
- ✓
Executive
Why this is correct
The Executive is a core role on the project board. They are accountable for the project's success and represent the business interest. They ensure the project delivers the required benefits and remains aligned with business strategy. The Executive chairs the project board and makes key decisions, such as approving the Business Case and authorizing stage boundaries.
- ✓
Senior User
Why this is correct
The Senior User is a core role on the project board. They represent the interests of those who will use the project's products and realize the benefits. They ensure that the project delivers the expected outcomes and benefits. The Senior User provides user requirements and monitors the solution's acceptance. They are accountable for benefits realization.
- ✗
Project Manager
Why it's wrong here
The Project Manager is not a member of the project board. They manage the project on a day-to-day basis and report to the board. While they attend board meetings, they do not have voting rights.
