    • Strong matrix

    • Functional organization

    • Projectized organization

    • Weak matrix

    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.

    • Provide developers and code experts for the development of desired systems

    • Provide support and training to others in the organization on how to manage projects

    • Provide project managers for ongoing projects in the organization

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.

This arrangement allows for flexibility and the ability to handle multiple responsibilities at once.
