Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a functional organizational structure, project managers have the least amount of authority as the power lies with the functional managers who control the resources and personnel allocated to the project. The project manager acts more as a coordinator and facilitator rather than as a decision-maker. In contrast, in a project organizational structure or a matrix organizational structure, the project manager has more authority and control over the project. A circular organizational structure is not a commonly used organizational structure in project management.
