CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 88

A company has hired a new project manager. The PMO has briefed the new project manager on the following expected responsibilities for projects:
✑ Coordinate project schedule
✑ Manage to the triple constraint
✑ Provide performance feedback to team members' managers
Which of the following types of organizational structures did the new project manager MOST likely join?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Strong matrix, as this structure gives project managers a significant amount of authority and responsibility, which aligns with the need for performance feedback and managing the triple constraint. In contrast, a Balanced matrix allows for shared authority, while Functional and Projectized structures either limit the project manager's authority or fully empower them in a different way.
