Authorities
Managing a project requires an EPM to manage staff, approve expenditure and
deliver project results. In order for this to occur an EPM requires a
certain level of authority.

• The EPM uses staff resources provided by the line organisation. It is the responsibility of the EPM to ensure that the level of authority of the EPM regarding the resources is clearly defined and understood by all parties. As part of the planning of the project the EPM will negotiate with the line organisation to establish the framework. Within this framework the EPM will exercise the authority required to achieve the goals of the project.
  
  
• The commitment of finances to a project is the responsibility of the sponsor; it is assumed that unless there are special circumstances the project sponsor will transfer this responsibility to the EPM for the life of the project. The authority levels set out below are to be used if the expenditure is a part of the baseline plan and approved in the project specification. Any expenditure above the baseline needs to be approved by the sponsor.
  
  
• The EPM has authority to sign for project related expenses up to a locally defined maximum, or to the level of budget released by the project sponsor.
