Consequences of Non-Performance

D.

The resource that outlines consequences of non-performance is typically the project sponsor. The project sponsor is a key stakeholder who provides the necessary resources, funding, and support for the project. As such, the project sponsor has a vested interest in ensuring the success of the project and will likely be the first to identify and communicate the consequences of non-performance.

The consequences of non-performance can include missed deadlines, cost overruns, quality issues, and even project failure. These consequences can have a significant impact on the project's stakeholders, including the project team, customer, and other stakeholders who are affected by the project's outcome.

The project team, on the other hand, is responsible for delivering the project's objectives and may not have a full understanding of the consequences of non-performance. While they may be aware of some of the risks associated with the project, they may not be able to fully appreciate the impact of non-performance on the project's stakeholders.

The customer, as a stakeholder, may also have concerns about the consequences of non-performance. They have an interest in ensuring that the project delivers the intended benefits and meets their requirements. If the project fails to do so, they may experience financial losses, reputational damage, or other negative consequences.

Finally, the project management office (PMO) is responsible for overseeing the project's progress and ensuring that it adheres to the organization's project management standards. While the PMO may be involved in identifying risks and issues associated with the project, they may not have the authority to outline the consequences of non-performance.

In summary, while all of these resources may have a role in identifying and mitigating the consequences of non-performance, the project sponsor is typically the resource that outlines the consequences of non-performance.
