Equality in the workplace is a critical factor in the success of a company. Team members need to be treated equally and need to assist each other. There should also be a performance based reward for the employees who perform their duties well. In addition to the above, they should establish strong risk management programs, examine and comment on project portfolios within the company and audit current and completed projects.

The organizational chart would also indicate the time frame of each step commencing as soon as the previous step is finished. Upgrading the arrangement of the higher
