If you haven’t noticed already the way Dr. Simon set-up the Final Project for the class was a Matrix Organizational Structure. Dr. Simon plays the role as Chief Executive Officer and over sees all that takes place. The project managers were volunteer in this case since and the rest of the positions followed that same suit as to who showed up to class first. The departments whom the PM chose from were pre-clinical, clinical, regulatory , quality and marketing. I notice myself working with pre-clinical so far and as the team develops in terms of learning more of their part then things will hopefully start rolling. Dr. Simon discussed about the “stages” that the project team goes through from top-bottom. My team is over the awkward stage after we had are first meeting via call-in.
What stage is your team currently at? Have you worked with other departments yet? What challenges have you noticed?
