Explanation

The Project Management Office (PMO) is responsible for setting and enforcing project management standards, methodologies, and governance across the organization. A project manager's failure to submit timely status reports and providing inconsistent messaging about project performance are violations of communication standards and PMO-governed reporting requirements. The PMO has the organizational authority and mandate to address such performance and compliance issues. The project sponsor (D) focuses on business outcomes and funding, not PM process compliance. The project coordinator (A) is subordinate to the PM, and stakeholders (B) are not empowered to formally reprimand the PM.
