Background: Our projects and reporting is currently set up with our Account Managers as the "Project Owners". We have recently implemented the Project Manager role, due to adopting Agile. Our team is having some pain with the Commit Date function, since they live and breathe in My Work. Our Project Managers own the project through the process, so we'd like for them to be able to accept this commit date. We're thinking of making the PM the "Project Owner" and the AM the "Project Sponsor", and creating a custom grouping so the PM can still identify the projects by AM. Before going down this road, I have a few questions I'm hoping someone can help with:
Is there a way to have the Project Manager accept the commit date without being the project owner? If so, please explain.
Is there a downside to changing the Project Owner?
Does switching the owner affect reporting at all? (We pull once the project is complete where the AM will be back as the Project Owner)
Thanks in advance for your help! Justin Enzor Insperity
