CIMA E2 Syllabus C. Managing projects - Projects: Pure Project Organisation - Notes ^{5 / 6}

a permanent project board supported by team members who are brought in on an ad hoc, as needed basis

A permanent project board:

1. Is made up of managers, directors and administrative staff

2. Monitors the work of the project manager, who co-ordinates the project team for the duration of the project

3. The project team itself is constructed on an ad hoc basis. Team membership is conditional and flexible

Advantages of a pure project organisation:

• Flexible labour ensures other departments are not needlessly deprived of productivity

• Potentially saves on financial employment costs in the event that work on the project is independently remunerated

Disadvantages of a pure project organisation:

• There may be less communication between members and lower commitment to overall success

• There may be a lack of continuity and coherence as new people come and go
