Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 27

In what type of organizational structure does a project manager develop their role and work with a team assigned by job function?

Answer options

• A. Matrix - strong
• B. Matrix - balanced
• C. Virtual
• D. Functional

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Functional, because in this structure, the project manager typically has limited authority and relies on the functional managers to provide team members. Options A and B refer to matrix structures where project managers have varying degrees of authority, while option C, Virtual, implies a different way of organizing teams that does not align with the job function-based assignment.
