Project Management Model

a) Traditional Organization Hierarchy Model

· Project manager is the individu who has full authority on the project flow.Inferior
must do the greed job instructions given by the superior.

· Problems in different opinion, policy and project basis can be avoided with no
interruption from many people in the decision and instruction making process.

· However, the disadvantage of this management model is that it will set a side or
abandon the opinion and dissatisfaction feeling from inferiors and eventually will
cause the cooperation level between staffs is difficult to happen.

b) Project Co-ordination Management Model

· Refers to the management level who gives full believe and responsible to team
members whoever has the ability to make decision. The project manager will
distribute part of the making decision task to a particular individual without having the compulsory to refer back to the project manager.

· Indirectly it will decrease the management burden where each small problem can be
settled down by the inferiority.

· The disadvantage of this model is that the project manager will easily lose his or her control power. This is due to the decision making job can be handed over to the
inferior without ever making a return reference to them.

c) Delicate Tension Model

· This model is among the most popular model and normally assumed as the best model
ever. It is the combination of both models mentioned earlier in this section.

· Even if the project manager has the full authority on the project flow, but at the same time, the communication process between superior and inferior level still go on.

· However, in case if it is not being well conduct, the management will face trouble
when too much individual who speak out their opinions in making decision process,
thus work flow will disrupt.

d) Work Breakdown Structure Model

· It is a technique of job distribution into smaller units so it would be easier to manage. It aims to reduce difficulties in management system, and to ease up activity
controlling processes in a project’s building.

· It can be used as the base of making cost estimation, schedule and job distribution to members of the project. The project manager could sketch the staff’s job in the form of schedule. Staff’s activities can be monitored according to time to ensure the work is done as scheduled.

· The work breakdown structure will determine all work needed to be executed along
the process of assembling, maintenance, management, training, collection and
documenting.
