Abstract
The project organisation is a special organisational structure that is set up for the duration of the project. A special team is needed because the existing line organisation is designed to fulfil its regular specialist work, rather than to manage and carry out new, one-off initiatives that involve different areas and departments. The line organisation also lacks the flexibility to react quickly enough when problems are encountered or changes are needed.
