The idea of the matrix organization seems to be a great idea for forming a project team. It will give the project manager an opportunity to really pick those people who may be best for that particular project. Sometimes people may have a certain niche that will really benefit a project and if the project manager is able to capitalize on that, it will benefit the team and organization. Those who may be on the team will have the opportunity to go back to their functional managers if they need help or guidance. This structure seems like it could help people from becoming stagnant in their departments and keep them on top of things.
