Annotations:

• WHEN YOU SEE "FUNCTIONAL" ON THE EXAM, THINK "SILO"

1. THE PROJECT TEAM MEMBERS ALWAYS REPORT TO A FUNCTIONAL MANAGER
2. PROJECT MANAGEMENT DECISIONS NEED TO BE CLEARED WITH FUNCTIONAL MANAGERS
3. PROJECT MANAGERS SPEND A LOT OF TIME DOING ADMINISTRATIVE TASKS AND OFTEN ONLY WORK AS PMs PART OF THE TIME

Annotations:

• FOR THE PMP EXAM, MOST QUESTIONS ASSUME THAT YOU WORK IN A MATRIX ORGANIZATION UNLESS THEY SAY OTHERWISE. WHEN YOU SEE "MATRIX" ON THE EXAM, THINK "TWO BOSSES".

1. WEAK MATRIX
   1. PMs HAVE SOME AUTHORITY, BUT THEY AREN´T IN CHARGE OF THE RESOURCES ON A PROJECT
      1. MAJOR DECISIONS STILL NEED TO BE MADE WITH THE FUNCTIONAL MANAGER'S COOPERATION OF APPROVAL
2. BALANCED MATRIX
   1. PMs SHARE AUTHORITY WITH THE FMs
      1. PEOPLE REPORT TO A PROJECT MANAGER AND A FUNCTIONAL MANAGER EQUALLY
3. STRONG MATRIX
   1. PM HAVE MORE AUTHORITY THAN FM BUT THE TEAM STILL REPORTS TO BOTH MANAGERS
      1. THE TEAM MIGHT BE JUDGED BASED ON PERFORMANCE ON THEIR PROJECTS, AS WELL AS ON THEIR FUNCTIONAL EXPERTISE, DELIVERY THE PROJECT IS MOST IMPORTANT

Annotations:

• WHEN YOU SEE "PROJECTIZED" ON THE EXAM, REMEMBER "NO HOME"

1. TEAMS ARE ORGANIZED AROUND PROJECTS. WHEN A PROJECT IS DONE, THE TEAM IS RELEASED AND THE TEAM MEMBERS MOVE ON TO ANOTHER PROJECT
   1. PM MAKES ALL OF THE DECISIONS ABOUT A PROJECT'S BUDGET, SCHEDULE, QUALITY AND RESOURCES

      Annotations:

      • PM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SUCCESS OR FAILURE OF THE PROJECT
