Which THREE are common types of project organizational structures? (Choose three.)

A matrix organizational structure is common because it blends functional and projectized elements, allowing team members to report to both a functional manager and a project manager. This structure balances resource sharing with project focus, making it widely used in organizations that handle multiple concurrent projects.
