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.
