The main problem of this article is to find out what is “science” or “art” has more influence on project management. First of all, it is necessary to mention that “science” is generally defined by replicable, learnable procedures that tend toward success while “art” is defined by the unpredictable, capable of being carried out by skilled practitioners but in ways that they are not always able to explain.

A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and project network are often confused despite being two distinct items. AWBS is a description of the various tasks being undertaken in a project, the people response, and the command structure.

Both tools are important to a project and are related to each other because they in different ways help the carrying out of the project; they guide project performance.

Reason for Studying Organizational Structure

An organization’s hierarchical is important because it reflects the decision-making process and chain of command. An organization may have a flat or tall structure that directly affects every manager’s power to influence resources and authority to make decisions for timely execution. An organization’s structure is important for goal achievement and delivery of corporate results because it influences a project manager’s capacity to meet deadlines while corporate goals are commonly shared. Keeping this in mind, this paper studies the manner in which different organizational structures affect the achievement of project goals.

In scenario 1, the functional line organizational structure would be the most appropriate.

The reason for choosing this structure is that it is requires the head of the company to oversee matters such as establishing the in a new area and therefore functional line structure would favor this situation. The problem that may arise with such a structure is difficulties in interdepartmental exchanges. In scenario 2, ...

For Scenario 1, I would use project-based organizational structure where an independent team would be created to handle the northwest United States horn market. The reason for picking this structure is the focus on a single project where the selected team will just deal with this project thereby increasing chances of project success. The potential problem with this structure is the weakening of the integration between the parent organization and the project team. In addition, there is potential for duplication of efforts in case the organization has such project teams for many other projects. For Scenario 2, I would ...
