Hi Xian,

The more info you get the better for the team and the project overall so please read on and try to get more info about the sponsor(s). It would be best to follow along what the books says and the information that Dr. Tao provided on uLearn. Hope this helps.

Hi Cristine,
So,  my job is to get the information about the people who is the sponsor.
In the book it is written:The sponsor is the person with formal authority who is ultimately responsible for the project. A sponsor may be a senior executive or a junior manager.
In our case("calmat new student orientation"), the sponsor is Samuel Tong because he is the Provost of Calmat, so what I need to do is to get his information and write a sponsorship proposal.
Is that correct?
sincerely,
Xian

Hi Xian,

Sorry about the confusion. Everyone is to prepare a draft proposal of your assigned task and email to everyone on Monday, 6/25 so we can make any suggestion(s) during our meeting on 6/27. Jian's proposal is an example to get some ideas about the project. I read Jian's outline last night, which is a good start. I'm still reading the chapters and still digesting all the information so I can apply them to our project. Like for example,

• Darren is assigned to the charter; he should look at Jian's proposal to get some ideas;
• Christina will draft the Gantt chart; she should look at Jian's proposal to get information for her timeline for the project;
• Weian will draft the ppt slides for the presentation;
• I (Cristine) will put together a feedback form based on Jian's proposal; and
• Xian (you) will work with the sponsor(s) by gathering the info about them.

Have you read the chapters by the way? I'm sure it explains there about the sponsor(s). You may want to apply the Project Sponsor Role that I found online to answer your question #1. Hope this helps.

To answer your question #2, Jian's proposal is a draft. We are to prepare our own draft based on our assigned task for now. The assigned task may change if one is not comfortable doing the task and will hopefully let us know on our next meeting on 6/27, Wed. at 8:30-9:30 PM via Skype (an invite will be sent). I can put Jian’s proposal in Google Docs later this evening if it would help everyone.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Cristine
