Abstract: Abstract Product development projects represent a considerable organizational challenge. Coordination and collaboration problems are amplified by a variety of factors: the multitude of disciplines and skills required, the strong and growing pressure on time reduction and the level of uncertainty and risk that typically characterizes product innovation. This chapter focuses on the set of organizational choices that influence the way people interact during a specific product development project. These choices deal with (1) the definition of the organizational structure that formalizes roles and power relations and (2) the adoption of specific planning and control methodologies for project activities.
