Matrix organization
A hybrid of functional and project organizations
Each individual is linked to others according to
both the project they work on and their functions
Each has two supervisors: project manager and
functional manager.
Two variants of the matrix organizations
Heavyweight project organization (i.e., strong project
links).
Lightweight project organization (strong functional
links).
