The project sponsor changes in the middle. How to preserve the vision?

When changing the project sponsor, it is important to preserve the original vision to ensure stability and successful project completion. To do this:

• Hold a meeting with the new sponsor to discuss and agree on the current vision and goals of the project.
• Document the vision in a clear and accessible artifact (e.g., in project documentation or a roadmap).
• Engage key stakeholders to support and confirm the vision.
• If necessary, adapt the vision to new requirements while maintaining core values and objectives.
• Maintain transparent communication between the team and the new sponsor to avoid misunderstandings.

Thus, preserving the vision requires active dialogue, documentation, and flexibility to accommodate changes without losing strategic focus.
