A line and staff organization is a structure where line
managers have direct authority to make decisions,
while staff members provide advice and support to help
them. Line handles the main work, and staff offers
expert guidance to improve decisions (Kerzner, 2017).

A divisional organization is a structure where
the company or project work is divided into
separate units based on products, services,
geography, or customers. Each division
operates like its own small organization with its
own manager, resources, and responsibilities.
This structure makes decision-making faster and
allows each division to focus on its specific
goals (Kerzner
, 2017).

A matrix organization is a structure where employees
report to two managers at the same time: a functional
manager (in charge of their skills or department) and a
project manager (in charge of the project). This system
allows the organization to share resources and improve
teamwork across departments, but it requires good
communication to avoid confusion (PMI, 2021). For
example, an engineer in a construction company may
report to the Engineering Department Manager and also
work under the Project Manager for a new building

5.2 Project Planning
Projectplanning is the process of defining the project’s
goals, tasks, resources, schedule, and budget before
any work starts. It helps the project manager decide
what needs to be done, who will do it, when it will be
completed, and how much it will cost. Good planning
reduces risks and guides the team throughout the
project (PMI, 2021). For example, if a school wants
to build a new classroom, project planning
includes deciding the design, estimating the
cost, setting the timeline, assigning engineers

Project control is the process of monitoring the project’s
progress to make sure it stays on schedule, within
budget, and meets the planned quality. It involves
checking the work, comparing actual results with the
plan, and taking action when things go wrong. This
helps the project manager keep the project on track
and avoid delays or extra costs (PMI, 2021). For example,
if a project is supposed to finish a task in two weeks but it
is taking longer, the project manager may add more
workers or adjust the schedule to fix the problem.

The human aspects of project management focus on
how people behave, communicate, and work together
in a project. It includes understanding teamwork,
motivation, leadership, conflict management, and
communication.
When the project manager understands people’s
needs and behaviors, the team works better, problems
are solved faster, and the project becomes more
successful (Kerzner
, 2017). For example, a project
manager who
listens to team members’ concerns and encourages
cooperation can reduce conflicts and improve team
