In your initial post, reflect upon a specific organizational management structure in a specific organization, and then analyze the way project management fits into that structure. If possible, use an organization that you are familiar with through your own employment.
If that is not a good fit for you, research an organization's management structure and use the researched organization for your analysis. Address the following:
· Define the key aspects of the organizational structure. How does it operate? How does project management impact the overall organization?
· How does that organizational structure impact the company's management of projects?
· Provide specific examples from your experience or from your research to support your points.
Your active participation in the discussion forums is essential to your overall success in this course. Discussion questions are designed to help you make meaningful connections between the course content and the larger concepts and goals of the course by applying these concepts to your own personal experience and research.
These discussions offer you the opportunity to explore your own knowledge base, ask questions for clarification and further development of ideas, and engage with your peers allowing you to gain insight from your mutual and divergent backgrounds. Your instructor will bring added guidance and professional experience to the conversation.
