Currently, I work in a functional organization structure. In the research and development department, engineers are required to work on a certain project without input from the quality engineers until the time comes. When the project is said to be completed, the quality department’s voice is heard and signatures from them are finally done. Undoubtedly, there are pros and cons to this sort of organization because while it does increase efficiency in workflow and the projects are worked on with other engineers in your department, there is not much communication between the other departments until documents need to be checked by quality and signatures are required.
