Is project management designed to transfer power from the line managers to the project manager?
Well, you might be surprised to know that a project manager has no formal authority whatsoever. In fact, in most organizations, the authority (or power, whatever you want to call it) still lies in the hands of the line/functional manager who often abuses it. The project manager, unless working in a projectized organization does not own the resources and does not have any authority (power) over the resources. A lot of conflicts between the line manager and the project manager arise because of this situation (imagine trying to get people to do some work over whom you have no authority whatsoever). Smart project managers, in this situation, try to earn some informal authority over the resources. Sunil Pal

In resource negotiations, the project manager should have more say as they are directly responsible for the project's success and understand its specific needs and timelines. However, the line manager also plays a crucial role in resource allocation, ensuring that team members' workloads and departmental priorities are balanced. Ideally, both should collaborate to find a solution that meets project demands while maintaining overall organizational efficiency. Effective communication between the two roles is key to successful resource negotiation.
