In Matrix Organizational Structure, there are two chain of command.
Matrix management is the practice of managing individuals with more than one reporting line (in a matrix organization structure), but it is also commonly used to describe managing cross functional, cross business group and other forms of working that cross the traditional vertical business units – often silos - of function and geography.
For example, all engineers may be in one engineering department and report to an engineering manager, but these same engineers may be assigned to different projects and report to a different engineering manager or a project manager while working on that project. Therefore, each engineer may have to work under several managers to get his or her job done.

The chain of command not only establishes accountability, it lays out a company’s lines of authority and decision-making power. A proper chain of command ensures that every task, job position and department has one person assuming responsibility for performance.

Project Manager
One way of departmentalization is almost always according to projects or programs, the other usually being either disciplinary or functional.
Chain of Command refers as hierarchy. Project Manager act as leader of project who lead and control project team. On the other side he is answerable to senior management.
