This unit focuses on how to structure the project organization in an effective and efficient manner to achieve project objectives. One of the challenges of project management is the contradictionbetween how projects are designed and executed and the principles associated with traditional organizations.

Projects are unique, one-time efforts with a distinct beginning and end. Most organizations are designed to efficiently manage ongoing activities.

Considering the fact that project success is directly linked to the amount of autonomy and authority project managers have over their projects, how would you decide on the type of organizational structure that is most effective for the construction of a proposed multi-story building off-site [in a different location]?

In your response outline the weaknesses and strengths of your proposition.
