Project Management Professional (PMP) Practice Exam

Projects may be initiated by all of the following except the project team. The project team is responsible for executing the project once it has been initiated by another entity. Option B, a sponsor, is incorrect because sponsors have the authority to initiate projects. Option C, a PMO, is also incorrect because PMOs (Project Management Offices) have the potential to initiate projects as well. Option D, a portfolio review board, is incorrect because this entity can also initiate projects as part of their strategic planning and portfolio management process. Therefore, the correct answer is A, as the project team does not have the authority to initiate a project.
