 c) Pure project management organization-A "pure project organization" is a model of a business where project managers have total control over the project they oversee.

Answer
Fast tracking-  Fast tracking means that you look at activities that are normally done in sequence and assign them instead partially in parallel. For instance, normally you would not start constructing a solution until the design was completed. However, if you were fast-tracking, you would start constructing the solution in areas where you felt the design was pretty solid without waiting for the entire design to be completed. Fast-tracking always involves risk that could lead to increased cost and some rework later. For instance, in the
