Q: 2
Structure is the most common temporary structure used to manage projects. This allows the balance
of authority between the functional line manager and the project manager. In a permanent
structure, allocated tasks will match an individual’s capability so may be more repetitive and less
varied.

Makes sense to go with A here. Matrix structure is all about sharing authority between functional and project managers, which fits exactly what they're describing for temporary project setups. Pretty sure that's what the question points to, unless I'm missing something.
Option A is the one. Matrix structure specifically balances authority between functional and project managers, which matches the description. Functional structure (B) is more about specialization, but doesn't offer that authority balance. Pretty sure on this-disagree?
Probably A, matrix structure matches the balanced authority part. D is tempting but that's more for mixed setups.
D imo
I don’t think it’s D here. Matrix structure (A) is built for temporary project orgs with shared authority, which fits the question exactly. D is tempting but usually refers to a mix of different structures, not just balanced authority. Agree?
Its A, saw a similar question in recent exam reports.
Matrix structure fits since it evenly splits authority for temporary project teams. A
D, not A
A here. Had something like this in a mock and matrix structure is always described as balancing power between project and functional managers, especially for temporary setups. The other options either give most authority to one side or combine structures but don't focus on shared control. Open if anyone thinks otherwise but pretty confident about A.
I don’t think it’s D. A fits because matrix structure splits authority between project managers and functional line managers, exactly as described in the question. Functional or projectized setups don’t really share power this way. Pretty sure about A here, but happy to hear other thoughts if I missed something.
Be respectful. No spam.
