Explanation
When multiple independent projects with separate managers and teams are consistently producing unsatisfactory results, the root cause is often siloed, disconnected project execution with no shared standards or coordination. A matrix organizational structure improves cross-functional collaboration, standardizes project management practices, and allows resources and expertise to be shared efficiently across projects - directly addressing the recurring dissatisfaction. Auditing the process (B) is reactive, not structural. Enforcing EVM (C) addresses measurement, not underlying organizational coordination. Removing the sponsor (D) misidentifies the source of the problem - the sponsor is the one raising valid concerns.
