to act on own initiative on matters affecting the project, with the Contracting Officer having the ultimate authority.

To be clear, the Project Manager does not have any authority to bind the federal government into a contractual

importantly build team consensus and participation in all aspects of planning and executing a project. The project

overall standpoint in terms of effectiveness in meeting project requirements.
