Another potential difficulty of matrix implementation is that the functional side of the organization becomes more powerful that the project side. Hence, functional managers do not gain a project focus 151. Given that the Bureau was implementing a hybrid function matrix, this predicted difficulty was manifested. When the matrix structure was first established, many functional man agers took the view that as long as they still had super visory control of their staff, no real change had taken place. They felt that the organization remained a tradi tional functional organization. This problem was recognized and was corrected by formalization of an annual project planning process Functional manager recognition of the importance of project delivery is now maintained through this new process- a yearly work program plan called the work Program Resource Report(WPRR). This plan includes all projects that each functional team within a particular program are expected to complete. Based upon the pre project design templates that provide a labor hour estimate for each project, functional team staff allocations for each year are made and checked versus project design performance. In the years since estab lishment of the matrix, by evaluating functional group performance based upon project based goals(number of projects completed and labor hours required to com plete the projects), the Bureau has seen a dramatic increase in WPRR performance(as reported later)
