You need co-sponsors who are co-operative and understanding of each others' perspectives, and in difficult situations, like projects, this doesn't always happen. The main conflict is between the budget holder and the person controlling the resources. It is possible to make co-sponsorship work, but you need regular meetings (or at least contact) between the co-sponsors. I would avoid co-sponsorship if at all possible. If you can't avoid it, hold regular project board meetings with as few people as possible. Stacy,

With multiple sponsors on the project, where does the accountability lie? Is it with the sponsor who controls the $$? Or is it with the one who is most involved? Does co-sponsorship really work? Stacy What is your opinion on co-sponsorship? With multiple sponsors on the project, where does the accountability lie? Is it with the sponsor who controls the $$? Or is it with the one who is most involved? Does co-sponsorship really work?
