    The job of organizing the project for speedy, competent execution on budget is a major factor
    in the success of every project. We are not concerned here with where the project resides in
    the college and who it reports to—it reports to the Instructor—but rather the internal
    organization of the project. It can be handled as a set of tasks where everyone in the class has
    some given responsibilities and a specified time to deliver the results, or through a set of
    teams responsible for different sets of project tasks. If the class is small the former may be
    adequate, but for a larger class, it may be more efficient and practical to set up sub-teams
    (though probably NOT a third layer of sub-sub teams). For a class of say 35, five or six sub-
    teams may be optimal. This gives a uniform set of about five to seven direct reports for each
    manager, including the PM. Of course, some sub-teams may need fewer workers and others
    more, but they should be close to the right size. Again, recall that one constraint on the
    organization is that the sub-teams cannot all be completely independent. There are two
    reasons for this. One is that doing some of the work across all the chapters will be more
    valuable to an individual student (e.g., answering all the Review Questions) than doing all the
    work for just one chapter and then being ignorant of all the other topics. The second is that in
    real projects there is typically considerable interaction, even conflict. If the project could be
    divided into a set of tasks that can all be done by different departments without interacting
    with each other, there is no need to set up a project to do the work!
