Who approved including the changes as part of staffing for the CDD-V in the Navy program?

• A. The Navy CDD Sponsor
• B. The Program Manager
• C. The IPT Lead
• D. The Chief Engineer

Answer: (A)

Approvals for staffing changes come from the Navy CDD Sponsor because they own the program’s funding and mission needs. The sponsor has the authority to approve adjustments to the staffing plan to ensure resources align with the approved requirements and budget. The Program Manager oversees execution within the baseline but cannot unilaterally change staffing without sponsor sign-off. The IPT Lead directs cross‑functional work, not staffing authorization, and the Chief Engineer handles technical direction rather than staffing approvals. So, the sponsor has the final say in including staffing changes for the CDD-V.
