From my previous internship experience I had multiple managers when working on my project. This lead to some conflicts as the managers were not always up to date as to what the other manager had told the team to do or they were unaware of the stage in the process they were working on. With too any managers, information can get lost and may not reach a manager. In addition, with my multiple manager experience, they tend to disagree which can cause arguments and conflicts as to why something is being done. Also, since both managers may specialize in something different, they can try and stop one manager from doing something by saying they have more knowledge on the subject than the other. I think there should be one manager who delegates roles and duties to the workers below him. Different managers at different phases can get confusing and can disrupt the motion of the project.
