You are managing an internal Information Technology (IT) project for your organization. During planning, the WBS, schedule, and cost estimates developed by your team were approved and set as the project baselines but your critical resources keep getting pulled away from the project to support other projects and programs. Setting priorities across projects and programs in the performing organization is often responsability of:
a) The customer.
b) The project sponsor.
c) Senior management.
d) The project managers.
