    The document discusses three main types of organizational structures: functional, projectized, and matrix. A functional structure groups employees by expertise into departments. A projectized structure assigns employees to specific projects led by a project manager. A matrix structure is a hybrid with staff reporting to both functional and project managers, and can be weak, balanced, or strong depending on the project manager's decision-making authority.

    What Is Organizational Structure in Project Management?


    A project management organizational structure is used to determine the
    hierarchy and authority of people involved in a specific project. The structure
    defines each team member’s function and the reporting lines on a chart for
    team members to reference during a project.
    Types of Organization Structure:
    § Functional Organization.
    § Projectize Organization.
    § Matrix Organization.
    1 Functional Organization
    Functional Organization

    Functional Organization:
    A functional organizational structure is a team structure that groups employees
    into different departments based on areas of expertise. This type of structure is
    one of the most common types in business, especially in larger companies,
    where groups of employees are organized according to the function they
    perform.

    Example:
    Examples of a functional organization structure can be a software development
    company where developers, testers, and designers work in separate
    departments based on their experties and knowledge.
    2 Projectized Organization
    Projectized Organization

    Projectized Organization:
    A projectized organizational structure is a framework where an organization's
    operations are primarily structured around projects rather than functional
    departments. In this structure, employees are assigned to specific projects and
    work under the direction of project managers.
    Example:
    Examples of a Projectized organization structure can be a construction
    company, in which each project has a team led by a project manager.
    3 Matrix Organizational Structure

    Matrix Organizational Structure:


    A matrix organizational structure is set up on a grid to demonstrate staff
    reporting patterns to more than one authority. It is a hybrid of functional and
    projectized organizational structures, and project managers share authority with
    other program managers in this structure. Depending on the decision-making
    capacity of the project manager, a matrix structure is one of three subtypes:
    weak, balanced, or strong.

    Example:
    Examples of a Matrix organization structure can be a company where all staff
    report their progress to functional manager and a project manager as well.
    Matrix Organizational Structure

    Types Of Matrix Organizational Structure:


    § Weak Matrix.
    § Balanced Matrix.
    § Strong Matrix.

    1- Weak Matrix:
    Weak matrix is much similar to Fuctional Organization as in a weak matrix, the
    project manager has the least amount of decision-making power compared to
    the other matrix management types. When the project manager has limited
    authority over the project, the matrix becomes weak because the project
    budget and timeline is in the hands of the department head.
    Matrix Organizational Structure

    2- Balanced Matrix:
    In a balanced matrix, the project manager also holds a staff position and does
    not utilize the project manager role to its full capacity. The project manager still
    has little authority over project decisions, budget, staff, etc., and primarily
    serves as the point of contact and coordinator.

    3- Strong Matrix:
    A strong matrix is most similar to a projectized organizational structure. In it, a
    dedicated project manager falls under a functional project management
    department, has dedicated cross-functional staff, and is supported by a
    manager of all the project managers. This subtype offers the project manager
    the most authority as they work across a matrixed environment.
