PMP Exam tricks - The tight matrix

Saturday, June 9, 2012

You are sure know the term: matrix organizational structure. In case you want refresh your knowledge just click here: Matrix Structure.

Matrix = 2 bosses or even more :(

There are different types of matrix structures and those are listed by Wikipedia. And now comes the PMI and may ask a question regarding the matrix structure. There will be four possible answers and one of them mentions "Tight Matrix". Sounds good but you don't seem to remember anything about tight matrix. Is it something form the movie? - probably Keanu Reeves worked in this type of system you may ponder. No no no. Tight matrix has nothing to do with organizational structures. Better to describe it as a co-located team.

It simple refers to locating the work places (offices) for the project team in the same room. But be aware that tight matrix might be used as one of the options for these questions on the exam just to confuse you:

A project manager would find team development the most difficult in which form of organization?
A. Weak Matrix organization
B. Balanced Matrix organization
C. Projectized organization
D. Tight Matrix organization
