Answer 1

Answer:

d. His own

Explanation:

John is the JAD project leader

Joint Application Development (JAD) is a process that accelerates the design of information technology solutions. JAD uses customer involvement and group dynamics to accurately depict the user's view of the business need and to jointly develop a solution.

The executive sponsor is the person from the customer's organization who has the ultimate authority to make decisions about the project. The sponsor may be the customer's project leader, the CIO, or, in some cases, the CEO. The facilitator works with the sponsor to get the project started; it is essential, however, that the sponsor make key decisions, not the facilitator.

The executive sponsor has the following responsibilities:

. Accept ultimate authority and responsibility for the functional area to be addressed by the system.

· Resolve business policy conflicts by being the ultimate decision? maker.

· Honor the results of the JAD process.

· Set the vision for the project.

· Ensure the project team has access to and commitment from the right business user experts.

· Communicate customer support and cooperation.
