Organization and Structure

The organizational alignment of project managers in the relevant organization is a business decision. That alignment represents the extent of authority and responsibility conveyed to project managers to enable them to achieve business objectives in the project management environment. In conjunction with project team structure, organizational alignment contributes to project management capability within the relevant organization. In particular, it determines the influence and interactions the project manager will have with project team members and other stakeholders in the project management environment. Organizational alignment also addresses the PMO’s position of influence in the relevant organization, from which PMO oversight, control, and support activities are derived.
