Flexibility with Certain Limitations
Any organization can mold its own project management system to
satisfy its existing functional capabilities and unique constraints.
However, there are a number of requirements that are fundamental
to the success and effectiveness of this approach:
- The Project Manager must have the necessary managerial authority
within his own organization to ensure response to his requirements
- No major technical, cost, schedule, or performance decisions
should be made without the Project Manager's participation
- He must be identified as the authoritative agent in dealing
with outside parties, and be the responsible and single formal
contact with them
- The Project Manager should have a say in the assembly of the
project team, and personnel assigned to the project must be competent
- The Project Manager should have the capability and authority
to control the commitment of funds within the prescribed limits
of the project, and should actively direct attention to schedule
adherence
- Senior management must clearly demonstrate support for this
concept
