CAPM Practice Question

A hierarchical organizational structure is the most suitable for a predictive, plan-based approach. Hierarchical structures have clear lines of authority and well-defined roles, which aligns with the detailed upfront planning, stability, and control that characterize predictive methods. Matrix structures involve reporting to both functional and project managers and often benefit from more flexible, hybrid approaches. Projectized structures grant high authority to the project manager and are well-suited to various approaches but are often used for complex projects that may require more adaptability. Flat structures lack formal hierarchies and are better suited to agile methodologies that rely on self-organizing teams.
