Organizational Structure
JMHM Jayamaha
Is an enterprise environmental factor which can affect the availability of recourses and influence how projects are conducted.
All organizations are structured in one of three ways : Functional Projectized Matrix
Range from functional to projectized, with a variety of matrix structures between them.
Organizational Structure
Project-related characteristics of the major types of organizational structure
One common type of organization This is probably the oldest style of organization
and is therefore known as the traditional approach to organizing businesses
centered on specialties and grouped by function Such as production, marketing , engineering, and
accounting at the top level. Each department in functional organization will
do its project work independent of other departments
Functional Organization
Are a blend of functional and projectized characteristics.
The idea at play here is that the best of both organizational structures can be realized by combining them into one.
The project objectives are fulfilled and good project management techniques are utilized while still maintaining a hierarchical structure in the organization
Employees in a matrix organization report to one functional manager and to at least one project manager
Matrix Organization
Weak matrices maintain many of the characteristics of a functional organization, and the project manager role is more of a coordinator or expediter than that of a true project manager.
Strong matrices have many of the characteristics of the projectized organization, and can have full-time project managers with considerable authority and full-time project administrative staff
At the opposite end of the spectrum to the functional organization
The focus of this type of organization is the project itself.
The idea behind a projectized organization is to develop loyalty to the project, not to a functional manager
Often have organizational units called departments , but
These groups either report directly to the project manager or provide support services to the various projects
Projectized Organization
Team members are often co-located Most of the organization’s resources are
involved in project work Project managers have a great deal of
independence and authority.
In a Projectized Organization
