Metro project becomes more challenging day by day due to modern challenges. Management structure needs to redefine to overcome these challenges. To manage all the streams and huge resources, matrix management structure is the most suitable structure for any metro project. But due to its size and dual nature, this management structure faces some issues. These issues may create significant problem if not treated well and can put the success of the project in danger. Most of the projects failed to meet their specific goals. Project faces time delay and budget overrun significantly. Main problems with this system are conflicts, power struggle, improper communication and coordination, non-alignment of the goal, uncertainty in authority, unclear roles and responsibility, low project spirit, distrust, lack of motivation etc. This calls for effective management of the projects. All these problems are structural and functional in nature. These problems can be solved by adopting some structural and functional improvement which are suggested in this research paper. Responsibility-authority balance, documentation of problem solving approach, new reward system are the modifications proposed under functional improvement and integration of staff function of line and staff organization with matrix organization structure at execution level as a structural improvement. This proposed modification and existing structure is evaluated for its efficiency and performance by analytical tool like paired t test and scoring model analysis
