A very important part of successful project development is the organization of personnel within the company to handle the various aspects of the job. Figure 2-1 shows a typical organization chart for industrial research. As the project develops, it is essential to obtain suggestions and criticisms from personnel in various departments from time to time. This can be done by conferences and/or circulation of progress reports. Communications problems must be solved for effective cooperation. The proper method to employ depends on the size and physical setup of the company.
