Lisa is a project manager in a company with a traditional hierarchical organizational structure, where decision-making is centralized and authority flows from the top down. She is considering implementing an adaptive project management approach for a new product development project.
Which of the following is the most significant challenge she is likely to encounter in this organizational structure when adopting an adaptive approach?
Inadequate resource allocation due to conflicting priorities in a matrix structure.
Challenges in scheduling due to team members being in different time zones.
Limited stakeholder engagement due to lack of interest from clients.
Difficulty in promoting team autonomy and collaboration due to rigid management layers.
Adaptive approaches emphasize team empowerment, autonomy, and collaboration, which can be hindered by the rigid management layers and centralized decision-making in a hierarchical organization. The lack of flexibility and resistance to change in such structures make it challenging to promote the self-organizing teams required for adaptive methodologies. The other options are less relevant: resource allocation conflicts are typical in matrix structures; scheduling challenges due to time zones are common in virtual organizations; and limited stakeholder engagement contradicts the adaptive emphasis on stakeholder involvement.
