CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 77

A task on the critical path has just been completed. The project manager has been informed that the person responsible for the next task has gone on an approved leave. Which of the following types of organizational structure does this scenario BEST describe?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Functional, because in a functional organizational structure, team members are typically assigned to specific tasks within their functional areas, leading to dependencies that can cause delays if a key individual is unavailable. The other options, such as Projectized or Strong matrix, would allow for more direct control and resource allocation, reducing the impact of one person's absence.
