Define Matrix Project? 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Matrix structure refers to the organizational structure in which the team members report to the project manager as well as to the team manager. In this structure, the functional manager is placed first and then the project manager. This type of organizational structure helps the organization to complete the projects smoothly due to better utilization of resources than pure project structure or functional structure.

Step 2

The communication among the team members is better due to interdepartmental coordination, and that results in the greater responsiveness and fewer conflicts compared to other organizational structures.
