Set project champion

Setting a project’s champion helps ensure the right person is leading and taking ownership of the project’s success.

How to edit the champion#

  1. Open the project page and go to the Overview tab
  2. In the sidebar, find the Champion section
  3. Click on the champion area:
    • If a champion is already assigned, click on their name and select Choose someone else
    • If no champion is assigned, click on the empty area
  4. Select a new champion from the dropdown list of team members

When to change champions#

Having the right champion ensures effective project leadership and accountability throughout the project lifecycle. Consider updating a project’s champion when:

  • The current champion has moved to a different role or team
  • The champion is overloaded and needs to delegate
  • Someone with more relevant skills becomes available
  • Providing leadership opportunities to team members
