- A.
  
  Predictive Life Cycle
- B.

A. Predictive Life Cycle

Explanation
The predictive life cycle includes determining the project scope, time, and cost as early as possible in the project life cycle. This means that the project requirements and deliverables are defined upfront, allowing for a more structured and planned approach to project management. This approach is suitable when the project scope is well-defined and stable, and there is little expectation of changes or uncertainties. By determining these factors early on, the project team can have a clear understanding of the project's objectives and plan accordingly.

- D.
  
  Provide project managers for ongoing projects in the organization
Correct Answer
B. Provide developers and code experts for the development of desired systems

Explanation
The correct answer is "Provide developers and code experts for the development of desired systems." This option does not align with the typical functions of a Project Management Office (PMO). The PMO is primarily responsible for providing policies, methodologies, tools, and templates for managing projects within the organization, supporting and training others on project management, and providing project managers for ongoing projects. The development of systems is typically handled by development teams or IT departments, not the PMO.

  Functional organization
- C.
  
  Projectized organization
- D.

Correct Answer
A. Strong matrix

Explanation
In a strong matrix organization, the project manager has almost total authority. This means that the project manager has the power to make decisions, allocate resources, and control the project without much interference from functional managers. The project manager has the highest level of authority and is responsible for the success of the project. The strong matrix structure is characterized by a high level of integration between the project and functional teams, with the project manager having significant control over both.
