In a projectized organizational structure, the project manager has full authority to assign priorities and direct the work of individuals assigned to the project, as shown in the following OBS (Organizational Breakdown Structure). The project manager controls the resources. They report directly to the project manager, not to a functional manager. Directing work is easier because there are no battles with functional managers.
The common problem with the projectized environment is that there is not enough work to justify having all the people dedicated to the project. Except for very large projects, few organizations have projectized structures because they are more expensive to operate and less efficient than some other types of organizational structures.
