CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management) Practice Exam

What does a matrix organization aim to minimize?

1. Project duration

2. Staff fluctuations

3. Budget allocations

4. External hires

The correct answer is: Staff fluctuations

A matrix organization aims to minimize staff fluctuations by balancing resources and workload across multiple projects. This allows for a more efficient use of resources and prevents the constant hiring and firing of staff, which can be costly and disruptive to work flow. Option A, project duration, is not a primary focus of a matrix organization as it is more concerned with resource management. Budget allocations may be considered, but they are not the main goal of a matrix organization. External hires are not relevant to the primary goal of minimizing staff fluctuations within the organization.
