Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dual chain of command is actually a characteristic of less formalized structures, where individuals report to both a functional manager and a project manager. In a highly formalized organization, there is typically a clear and singular chain of command. Narrow spans of control, clear lines of authority, and unity of command are all common characteristics of formalization.
