CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 37

A project manager is not required to participate in performance appraisal meetings with team members. The project manager is working within which of the following organizational structures?

Answer options

• A. Projectized
• B. Balanced matrix
• C. Functional
• D. Strong matrix

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Strong matrix, because in this structure, the project manager shares authority with functional managers, and performance appraisals are typically handled by those managers. In contrast, in a Projectized structure, the project manager has full control, and in a Functional structure, the project manager has little to no authority, making them more involved in appraisals. A Balanced matrix allows for shared authority, but still involves project managers in performance reviews.
