Organizational Issues
5

The project manager role is by its nature a temporary one, superimposed on the organization. It does not have the power associated with traditional hierarchical positions. Project managers must work across functional and organizational lines and frequently have few direct subordinates. Therefore, perhaps the biggest single issue faced by project managers arises because they have the authority to make decisions about the below but not the power: Project priorities. Project schedules. Project budgets. Project objectives. Project policies.
