I thought the project manager was mainly focused on project delivery, so I'm leaning towards the functional manager being responsible for skills improvement.

I feel like the employee should take charge of their own skills, but I wonder how much support they get from managers in a matrix organization.

I remember a practice question where the project manager had some responsibility for appraisals, but I can't recall if that's true in a matrix setup.

I think the functional manager usually handles skill improvement, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only role they play.

I'm pretty sure the TOGAF Library has sections on Catalogs, Matrices and Diagrams, as well as Standard Information Base and Governance Log. Let me double-check that.

I'm going with C. The employee is responsible for their own skills improvement. Anything else would be too much micromanagement in a matrix organization. It's all about flexibility and shared responsibility, am I right?

Hmm, I'm not so sure. I was leaning towards D, but now I'm second-guessing myself. The project manager should be responsible for skills improvement, right? Otherwise, what's the point of matrix management?
