Stages Data Governance & Privacy Role

The Project Sponsor is typically a member of the business community rather than an IT/IS resource.

The Project Sponsor often initiates the effort, serves as project champion, guides the Project Managers in understanding business priorities, and reports status of the implementation to executive leadership.
