Management Homework Help

You are a Project Manager working on a new product development project in a balanced matrix project

organization. You are discussing the resource needs for the project with the functional managers. Select the best approach to tell the functional managers about the resourcing needs:

a) Since the resources will be reporting to me as Project Manager, it is important that they all be allocated full time to the project

b) Since the resources will be temporary on the project, it is important that they have the proper skills to get the work done

c) Since the resources will be working for you, the functional managers, but reporting to me as Project Manager for direction on the project tasks, then we need to negotiate who will be available for the project, their skills, and their available hours to work on the project

d) Since the resources will be working on a functional project, it makes more sense that you, the functional managers, organize their work and that they take project direction from their functional managers
