We can state that, beside the company organization, all the functions assigned to a project reports into the PMs, directly or indirectly (ref. to project team organization scheme), for what is concerning the assigned tasks.

In other words, on specific projects, each and every function responds to the PMs for:

• Delivering consistently assigned tasks (in quality & quantity);
• Meeting budget;
• Meeting deadlines.
