I work as a Quality Engineer in a company that runs as a matrix organization. The management provides excellent guidance to their team on various aspects. Also, the directors amongst the different departments are always willing to collaborate with each other. The issue becomes when deadlines are due for each department and or personnel. With the matrix organization, schedules do clash because of the diverse team. Personnel is not only focused on the project but are involved in other priorities as well which is prone to a departmental schedule conflict. This also brings up a fight for resources (personnel) which ultimately comes down what is the top priority for the business.
