A project sponsor is a person or group who provides resources for the project, in addition to giving feedback to the project manager as the project progresses. Being that they play such an important role in the success of the project, the project manager and project support officer must keep them updated throughout the project. Let the interviewer know how often you would contact the sponsor and why.

"In my experience, sponsors can vary in terms of how frequently they wish to be updated. Generally, for larger, more complex projects I've found that they prefer to be contacted more often than for smaller projects. When this is the case, I typically arrange a weekly meeting with the sponsor so either the project manager or I can deliver updates and bring necessary issues to their attention. Additionally, I would make sure to reach out if any major issues arise that require their input."
