ABSTRACT
To fulfil the philosophy, I offer for your consideration a project management team structure (Figure 11).
It would be good if we could create a generic project management structure that could be tailored to any project. Without knowing anything about a project’s size or complexity we could understand the same organizational terms and, by fitting names to these, understand quickly who does what. But if we were to have one structure for all sizes of project, it would be important that we made it flexible, a structure that would be adequate for large as well as small projects. The only way in which we can do this is to talk about roles that need to be filled, rather than jobs that need to be allocated on a one-to-one basis to individuals. In order to be flexible and meet the needs of different environments and different project sizes, our structure will define roles that might be allocated to one person, shared with others or combined according to a project’s needs. Examples are given later in the chapter.
