True.

Explanation:

A functional organisation focuses on grouping staff according to their areas of specialisation, and the project manager is an expert in that field. This is to ensure the project manager can effectively supervise the staff to deliver quality work.

There is less emphasis on the manager's powers of resource control.

However in projectized organisation the project manager has a lot of authority for budgeting, personnel, and decision-making.
