Why each option
The described management style, where project resources report to both a functional manager and a project manager, is known as matrix management.
Projectized management involves team members reporting solely to the project manager for the duration of the project.
Matrix management is an organizational structure where team members have dual reporting relationships, typically to both a functional department manager and a project manager, balancing functional expertise with project needs.
Functional management organizes employees by department, with reporting lines only to a functional manager, and projects are often managed within those silos.
SCRUM / agile refers to a project management methodology, not an organizational structure that defines reporting lines.
