What is a company structure?
To do your job efficiently and effectively, you must figure out
what kind of organizational structure you are in. Excepting the
hand full of people who own the companies, the rest of us are all
working class. We work for some company and get paid. Every
individual must understand his/her organizations structure in order
to blend into the organization as well as to carry out his/her
duties without any issues.
Now, you as the project manager too are part of some
organization and your organizations structure has a direct bearing
on the project that you manage. So it is imperative that, you as
the project manager understand the various structures an
organization could take.
From the perspective of structure, organizations fall into three
categories:
1. Functional organizations
2. Projectized organizations and
3. Matrix organizations.
