CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 534

A project manager needs a systems administrator as a resource on a project. The project manager approaches the operations manager to obtain the resource. In which of the following organizational structures is the project manager MOST likely operating?

Answer options

• A. Hybrid
• B. Projectized
• C. Functional
• D. Matrix

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The project manager is most likely operating in a Matrix organizational structure because they need to obtain resources from another department, indicating shared authority. In a Projectized structure, the project manager would have full control over resources, while in a Functional structure, they would have limited authority over resources. A Hybrid structure combines elements of both but is less common in this scenario.
