Hello Brandon , thankyou again for an informative post. The linear management structure implies a direct impact on the management process by the line manager, who concentrated all the functions of management in one hand. With this structure, each unit (or individual executor) is subordinate and receives instructions from one higher governing body, which ensures the management of subordinate units, independently performs all management functions.

Thankyou Brian for your interesting post. A work breakdown structure supports the division of a project into more predictable sub-elements. This serves to clearly structure the necessary work in the project - right from the beginning. The work breakdown structure (WBS) is one of the most important plans in project management. He is therefore also reverently called the "mother of all plans". But many project managers do not really trust him. I also have to admit that I could not really make friends with him for a long time.
