Which organizational structure allows the project manager to have the most authority and control over project resources?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking about different types of organizational structures and which one grants the project manager the greatest authority and control over project resources. It presents several options to select from.

More Information

In a projectized organization, the entire company is organized by projects, and the project manager has full authority to make decisions about resources and personnel. This contrasts with matrix organizations where authority is shared between project managers and department heads.

Tips

A common mistake is confusing matrix structures (where authority is shared) with projectized structures. Be sure to note the distinctive role of the project manager in each type.
