Why each option

The PMO is the organizational entity with authority to define and enforce project management standards, tools, and governance directives across all projects in the portfolio.

AProject management officeCorrect

The Project Management Office exists specifically to standardize project governance practices across the organization, including mandating the use of specific tools, methodologies, and reporting mechanisms such as a portfolio dashboard. An organization-wide directive requiring all projects to use a remote dashboard falls squarely within the PMO's enforcement authority and governance charter.

BProject sponsor

A project sponsor advocates for and funds a single specific project but has no authority to mandate standards or tools across all projects in the organization.

CProject manager

A project manager is responsible for executing their assigned project within approved constraints but lacks the cross-organizational authority to enforce standards on other projects or teams.

DProject coordinator

A project coordinator provides administrative and scheduling support within one project and has no organizational authority to enforce directives beyond that project.
