Option B is the way to go, no doubt. The project manager is like the conductor of this orchestra - they need to keep everyone in sync, even if they're reporting to different sections.

I'm going with D. The project management office has the oversight and expertise to navigate this tricky situation. Can't leave it all up to the poor project manager!

Ah, the age-old struggle of the matrix organization. I'd say C is the way to go - the functional manager should take the lead, but the project manager needs to be involved to keep things on track.

I think the project manager is responsible for managing the dual reporting relationship. They need to work closely with the functional manager to ensure clear communication and alignment.
