Group Structure
For the initial stages of the project three main management positions were identified. These were: Project Manager, Financial Manager and Communications Manager. Group members took turns at filling these roles. This allowed each member to experience each role and enabled the group to decide which member was best suited to each. Towards the project half way point, further roles were defined and group members were assigned permanent positions. These are shown in the table below.
The management of the project was split into two ‘levels’. The upper level (Tier 1) which includes the Project Manager, Financial Manager and Communications Manager are responsible for the ‘office’ side of the project which includes the general group conduct, direction and documentation.
The second level of management (Tier 2) was designed to manage the technical side of the group project. This level of management is made up of ‘Heads’ of specific technical aspects of the project.
This management structure is depicted in the figure below.
