Question 4.1
Projects go through many uncertainties. Therefore, projects must be able to
adjust. Traditional organisations are ineffective in the face of rapid change. In
contrast, project organisations should be organic. Explain what is meant by
'organic' and distinguish how the different kinds of integrators can enhance
interaction, coordination and mutual adjustments. (20)
Project organization refers to the style of coordination, communication and
management a team uses throughout a project’s life cycle (Steyn, 2002). Project
organization encourages participation by each team member and embraces diverse
talents and skills. Team involvement is laid out in an organizational structure chart that
graphically shows where each person is placed in the project structure. Project
organizational charts are useful tools for clarifying who does what, securing buy-in and
setting expectations for the group. By applying project organization, a project team
optimizes resources, provides clear communication about roles and responsibilities
and reduces potential roadblocks. To maintain a strong project organization, the team
needs proper direction and training from colleagues and supervisors. Each company
has its own approach to project organization, depending on how many employees they
have and what the project entails.
The following are some of the different kinds of integrators:
➢ Liaison roles
➢ Task forces and teams
➢ Project expeditors and coordinators
➢ Pure project managers
➢ Matrix managers

The liaison role is not always effective. Although the inventory controller expedites

unravel that problem, it might be necessary to involve people from elsewhere in the
