    Examples
    Let us consider 2 different projects that are done by a PO under a contract from an external CO.

    A project done for profit – The Client agrees to pay $100K for a fixed price project. The Sponsor from the PO decides to do the project for $80K and rest will be deemed as profit.

    A project done for a social cause – A Donor Agency (Client) initiates a disaster management project. It contracts an independent non-profit organization (PO) to meet project’s objectives. The Sponsor from the Donor Agency will take decisions about the project budget and disburse the funds as needed to manage the costs.
