The main goals of the project director are to successfully deliver the project and to achieve the identified benefits. The project director provides strategic direction and support to the project team, enabling the team to realize the expected value of the project. The project director takes a cost-conscious approach to balancing the demands of the business, users, suppliers, and consultants. The project director conducts the risk review process, verifies that the project is meeting the needs and expectations of the stakeholders, and verifies that the project is adhering to standards. The project director may delegate or assign responsibilities to the project manager or other subject matter experts for specific areas such as risk, quality, or communication. The project director should clearly document which responsibilities are being delegated and the level of assignment for the responsibility. The level of assignment may include participation, accountability, review, input, or sign-off. Roles and responsibilities can be used to map the subject areas being assigned to the roles. The project director may appropriate some of the project manager's responsibilities. A program director performs many of these responsibilities over several projects and functional units. A program director may replace the project director or may be assigned specific responsibilities. |
