A project manager is leading a team in an organization where resources are shared across different projects, and team members report both to their functional managers and to the project manager. The project manager has moderate authority over the team. Based on this description, which organizational structure BEST describes this organization?
In a matrix organizational structure, team members have dual reporting lines to both their functional managers and project managers. Resources are shared across projects, and project managers have moderate authority. In a functional organization, project managers have little to no authority, and team members report primarily to functional managers. In a projectized organization, the project manager has full authority over the team, and resources are dedicated to the project. A flat organization is less hierarchical but doesn't typically involve dual reporting lines or shared resources.
