I bet the project manager in a weak matrix structure wishes they had a stronger matrix to lean on. Just kidding, but that's a good one!

Hmm, I'm torn between A) Weak matrix and B) Functional. Guess I'll have to review my notes on organizational structures again.

That makes sense. Functional structure gives more authority to functional managers.

A) Weak matrix is correct. In this structure, project managers have limited authority.

I'm going with C) Balanced matrix. The project manager in a balanced matrix has more authority than in a weak matrix, but less than in a projectized structure.

I'm not sure, but I think in a functional structure the project manager also has limited authority.

Definitely D) Projectized. In a projectized structure, the project manager has the most authority and control over the project.

I think the answer is B) Functional. In a functional organization, the project manager has limited authority and must rely on the functional managers to get things done.
