Explanation

In a project-based (also called projectized) organization, the project manager has the highest level of authority. They control the budget, make key decisions, and team members report directly to them full-time. In a strong matrix, the PM has significant authority but still shares some control with functional managers. In a balanced matrix, authority is split roughly equally between the PM and functional managers. In a functional organization, the functional manager holds the most power, and the PM has the least authority - often acting more as a coordinator.
