This sounds a lot like the matrix team structure. Can program managers assign work to engineers? And if so, how do you deal with project and program managers giving conflicting tasks?
- zwieback 5y agoYes, the program managers can assign work and they tend to work closely with the involved people managers to balance workload.
- lugged 5y agoI hate matrix management so much. It's gimmicky and a pain in the arse. I know management does do a job, but it's hard to justify needing two instead of one. My view I that matrix style management is a solution to a communication problem you haven't figured out. Instead of fixing the communication throughput problem, your adding more bandwidth and scaling out the number of nodes in hopes it magically fixes the problem. And it sort of does fix the communication problems, that's why people like it. The trade off is that as an IC its arese to have to jerk two cocks at the same time.
