Why each option
Project steering - setting strategic direction and approving major decisions - is the responsibility of key project stakeholders, typically organized as a steering committee.
The project manager handles day-to-day execution and management, not high-level strategic steering decisions.
Key project stakeholders, often forming a steering committee, are responsible for providing strategic direction, approving major scope or budget changes, resolving escalated issues, and ensuring project alignment with organizational objectives. This governance authority sits above the project manager and is distinct from day-to-day project management.
The PMO provides governance frameworks and standards across projects but does not typically steer individual projects.
Project coordinators handle administrative and scheduling support tasks, not strategic steering.
