! Members complete project work on top of normal departmental work
! “Silo”
Functional
Projectized
! Grouped by project
! Team members report to a Project Manager
! When the project is over, they do not have a department to go back to
! “No home”
Projectized
Matrix
! Maximizes strength of both Functional and Projectized structures
! Team members report to the Project Manager and the Functional Manager
! Members complete project work on top of normal departmental work
! “Two bosses”
