Project Management in Non-Project-Driven GroupsProject Management in Non-Project-Driven Groups
Projects may be few and far between Not all projects have the same project
management requirements, and therefore they cannot be managed identically. This difficulty results from poor understanding of project management and a reluctance of companies to invest in proper training.
Executives do not have sufficient time to manage projects themselves, yet refuse to delegate authority.

Project Management in Non-Project-Driven Groups (Continued)
Project Management in Non-Project-Driven Groups (Continued) Projects tend to be delayed because approvals
most often follow the vertical chain of command. As a result, project work stays too long in functional departments.
Because project staffing is on a “local” basis, only a portion of the organization understands project management and sees the system in action.
There exists heavy dependence on subcontractors and outside agencies for project management expertise.
