An Effective project management will facilitates smooth running of the horizontally oriented work in the organizations which are traditionally vertically oriented. Projects do require a co-operation of the line managers both across a departments involved and throughout a various levels of the seniority.

In a large scale projects, almost entirely an self-contained project team could be created, either by assigning the line staff to a project on the full-time basis or by hiring in the external resources. Often the combination of both is been used but in the either case, because a project staff are essentially of full-time, conflicts between the line and the project management are been minimized.

In situations a project team member is having only one boss, a project manager. Even in these self-contained large projects, it is most likely that there will be the requirement for some of the resources which are outside of their control. The fact that a project is been used to operating in the isolation, may accentuate any of the communication problems which then arise.

It is however more typical for the projects to use the staff and the other resources that will remain under a control of the departmental or the line manager. This type of the project environment will raises both an opportunities and the potential hazards of the integrating line and a project management. A challenge is to create the environment that will fosters cooperation and not the one that breeds the counter-productive competition.

Projects normally do require the key resources, which are not under a direct control of project manager. A project manager therefore will need to negotiate with a relevant line manager to borrow and control these resources as and when they will be required.

Cooperation of the line managers is essential for the success of project and the project management staff must work hard at developing good working relationship with them. A staff assigned to project often will be reporting to the two bosses - A line manager and a project manager; it is important to know the difference in their position all times.

The Effective project management is been characterized as in the following:

• Clear the leadership and the direction.
• A Seamless integration of the new members into a team.
• Ability of communicating clearly.
• The arbitration skills when the problem solving.
• An ability to handle the interpersonal conflicts.
• The Capability to plan and secure the commitments.

A Project management staff must have a proven ability to assimilate and prioritize the individual demands to make an effective decisions. Conflict is the common occurrence in the project environment and the project management staff must be skilled in the conflict resolution. They will be heavily judged on their personal experience and a credibility which they already possess within an organization.
