Organisational Structures

Projectised

• If there are dedicated teams for each of the organisational project, led by a project manager having full control over the project, this is a Projectised organisation.
• Team are organised around projects, when a project is done the team is released and the team members move to another project.

Functional

• If the project team is a 100% subset of a functional department (e.g., HR, operations, sales, customer service, finance etc.) and is managed by the departmental manager directly, this is a functional organisation.
• Project Management decisions need to be cleared with functional managers.
• Project Managers are assistants to the functional managers in getting the work done.
• Project managers spend a lot of time doing administrative tasks and often only work as Project Manager Part of that time.
• All the project work typically happens within a particular department and that department’s Manager is completely in charge of everything.

Matrix

    Strong Matrix

• If the project manager/expediter has more control over the project than the functional manager, the organisation is strong matrix.

    Balance matrix 

•  If the control is balanced between the project manager/expediter and the functional manager, the organisation is balanced matrix.

    Weak Matrix

• If the project manager/expediter has less control over the project than the functional manager, the organisation is weak matrix
