An organization is considering a predictive, plan-based life-cycle for a project whose requirements are stable and well defined. Which type of organizational structure typically provides the clearest chain of command and therefore best supports the detailed upfront planning and centralized decision-making required by this approach?
A hierarchical structure, characterized by a clear chain of command and well-defined roles and responsibilities, is most suitable for a predictive, plan-based approach. This structure supports extensive upfront planning and centralized decision-making. Virtual organizations and weak matrix structures often lack the consistent authority lines and control needed to enforce a rigid plan, making them less appropriate for predictive projects.
