There are namely 3 types of organizational structures:
1. Functional
Highly hierarchical and each employee has one clear superior (aka Functional Manager) and staff are grouped into areas of specialization, managed by the superior.
2. Matrix
Functional and Project Managers share responsibilities in assigning priorities and directing work of staff assigned to the project.
3. Projectized
Project Manager has full authority to assign priorities, apply resources and direct the work of staff assigned to the project.
There is another form of organizational structure which is known as Composite, which includes the involvement of all of the above structures at various levels. Project team may comprise of full-time staff from different functional departments and may operate outside of the standard reporting structure. An example is a taskforce.
