    Pure Project consists of dedicated employees (team members) assigned to work full-time on a project. The advantages of this type of project structure is that this type of project full authority over the project is given to the project manager (PM). A second advantage is that having a single project manager allows team members to report to one boss only which eliminates the possibility of miscommunication between team members and supervisors, this also allows lines of communications to be shortened resulting in quicker decision-making. Employees assigned to a project on a full-time basis develop team pride, are motivated to accomplishing all tasks associated with the project, and demonstrate a high level of…

This work aims to support the thesis set in the title and in so doing draws upon the range of information and thoughts compiled here from sources listed in the bibliography.…
