The project selection committee asks you to attend their next meeting. This surprises you because at your organization, projects are selected by a committee with members who represent all of the key business units. After they meet you, the other project managers find out which projects have been approved and why. You ask about the agenda for the meeting so that you can be prepared. You learn that you are being asked to the meeting to help determine how some specific project should be organized. The projects in question are Project A and Project B. Project A is considered to be of strategic importance to your organization. When Project A is completed, you will release a new product to your customers that will be innovative. Research has shown that there is a high demand for this product. And if you are quick enough, your company will be the first to have it on the market. This project will require the focus and attention of the entire team. 1:04Project B is a tablet upgrade for your organization's sales force. It will primarily involve the information technology, or IT, department. 1:14There is a specific functional manager in the IT department who is very knowledgeable about the tablets, the applications they use, and the technical requirements. Basically, this functional manager needs some help with coordination and project reporting. 1:30The best response here is C. Each response does provide possible approaches. And each response could be how some organizations would handle these projects. But C represents the most desirable approaches. This is true because Project A is of high strategic significance and if the new product is created and released in a timely manner, the company stands to profit. 1:53
Project B can be a weak matrix because the IT manager does not need help overseeing much of the project and simply needs some coordination and help with project management reporting.
