ABSTRACT
We begin with acceptance that an engineering organization that must deal with multiple system development programs should organize in a matrix structure, as discussed in Chapter six. The matrix has the advantage of focusing day-to-day work on specic program problems while providing a good environment within which to improve the organization’s skills, methods, tools, and knowledge. We should also accept the good sense that we cannot beat the odds on specialization. Our engineering organization must select its personnel from the same pool as everyone else, the human race. We have seen that we are knowledge limited and we solve that problem through specialization.
