System View of Project
The system view of a project means a step back is taken for
looking into the entire scope of the project.
It means all the operations involved in the project like working or
functioning should be understood.
Projects should not be run in the isolation even though projects
are temporary or are intended to provide a unique product or
service.
If project runs in the isolation, then it is less necessary that it will
truly serve the needs of the organizations.
So, project manager must operate in a broad organizational
context and projects must run in a broad organizational
environment.

Organizational Structure
Any operating organization should have its own structure in
order to operate efficiently

functions.

character of an organization and the values it believes in.
Therefore, when you do business with an organization or
getting into a new job in an organization, it is always a great
idea to get to know and understand their organizational
structure.
Depending on the organizational values and the nature of
the business, organizations tend to adopt one of the suitable
structures for management purposes.
Organizational Structure

structure, there can be departments and teams
following some other organizational structure in
exceptional cases.

The organization is divided into segments based on
the functions when managing. This allows the
organization to enhance the efficiencies of these
functional groups.
Functional structures appear to be successful in large
organization that produces high volumes of products
at low costs.
The low cost can be achieved by such companies due
to the efficiencies within functional groups.

roles and department. Some of the general departments
under this are
