Very interesting point lamiaa. I believe that it will be more challenging for project managers to work in matrix organizations because they have cross the limits that the departments set and deal with people that you have never talked to before. Working with your own department means working with those people you are familiar with, so you already know the weaknesses and strengths of your team members. Crossing the line of departments means that the concept previously mentioned does not exist.

Let me know what you guys think

Sincerely,
Roberto Pineda.
