Abstract: Abstract This chapter offers a comprehensive examination of project structures, delineating their various forms, functions, and implications for project success. Drawing on theoretical foundations and practical insights, it seeks to provide a nuanced understanding of how different organizational frameworks influence project dynamics, coordination, and outcomes. It begins by defining project structures as the organizational arrangements and hierarchies established to facilitate the planning, execution, and control of projects. It highlights the diversity of project structures, ranging from functional and matrix organizations to projectized and hybrid structures, each with its own strengths, weaknesses, and suitability for different project contexts.
