- Matrix organizations share authority between functional and project managers. In a strong matrix, the balance of power shifts toward the project manager, who has more authority and a full-time role. In a weak matrix, the functional manager retains most authority, and the PM role may be part-time. In a balanced matrix, authority is roughly equal. Understanding organizational structure is important for the CAPM exam because it directly impacts the project manager authority, resource availability, and decision-making processes.
