What are Matrix Teams

Matrix teams are teams in which individuals work across multiple reporting lines, functions, locations, or organizations to collaborate to meet shared goals. Members usually report to their functional managers and may have a solid line, dotted line, or no line at all to the matrix team leader.

These teams may form part of a formal matrix structure with dual reporting lines or may just be a reality of cross functional teamwork.

Individuals participate in multiple streams of accountability, often balancing functional goals with project, customer, or activity based objectives.
