Matrix What type of organizational structure has project team members reporting to at least two bosses? Functional What type of organizational structure gives the least amount of authority to project managers? Project work is most successful in an organizational culture where employees identify more with the organization; where work activities emphasize groups; and where there is strong unit integration, high risk tolerance,performance-based rewards, high conflict tolerance, an open-systems focus, and a balanced focus on people, control, and means-orientation. Name two characteristics of organizational culture that help project management. Answer has all matrix middle ground between functional and project structures; personnel often report to two or more bosses; structure can be weak, balanced, or strong matrix providing adequate resources, approving unique project needs in a timely manner, obtaining cooperation from other parts of the org, and mentoring and coaching how top management can help project managers The work to be performed in each phase, The deliverables to be produced and when, The individuals who are involved in each phase, Management control and approval of work produced in each phase A project life cycle is a collection of project phases that defines? waterfall, spiral, incremental build model, prototyping model, and Rapid App Development What are the predictive life cycle models? waterfall model has well-defined, linear stages of systems development and support spiral model shows that software is developed using an iterative or spiral approach rather than a linear approach incremental build model provides for progressive development of operational software prototyping model used for developing prototypes to clarify user requirements Rapid Application Development (RAD) model used to produce systems quickly without sacrificing quality Globalization Lower trade and political barriers and the digital revolution have made it possible to interact almost instantaneously with billions of other people across our planet Adaptive Software Development life cycle requirements cannot be clearly expressed, projects are mission driven and component based, using time-based cycles to meet target dates Recommended textbook solutionsIntroduction to the Theory of Computation3rd EditionMichael Sipser 389 solutions

In what type of organizational structure do project managers have the least amount of authority a functional B project C matrix D circular?Project managers have the most authority in a pure project organizational structure and the least amount of authority in a pure functional organizational structure.
