A. Projectized.
B. Functional.
C. Strong matrix.
D. Weak matrix.

Answer: Option A is correct. In a Projectized organization; 
  • Project teams are grouped based on the projects. 
  • Once the project work is done, the project team is disbanded and the team members continue to work on other projects. 
  • Project manager is responsible for the project’s success and has authority. 
  • Project manager can make key decisions related to resources, budget, and schedule. 
  • Project coordinators and expeditors won’t exist in projectized organization. 
  • When the work is complete, the team members don’t have departments to go back.
