In a Balanced Matrix the power is divided between the project manager and functional manager.
Project managers decide and plan what has to be done and functional managers are responsible
for how the work will be done. These organizations are a mix of functional hierarchies and pure
project-oriented structures. This positions the balanced matrix organizations in-between the
functional matrix and the project matrix. In these organizations the project managers and
functional managers share responsibilities, the project manager is responsible for time and cost
and functional manager for scope and quality (Larsson and Gobeli, 1987; Turner,1999; Pinto and
Rouhiainen, 2001).
