I like this and proposed it to my boss but he wasn’t ready for this. One issue is budget. If the secondary reporting line is outside the primary budget, how is that handled?

How is it different from m form structure

It sucks. You can rarely get promoted. You don't work with your manager and you direct report to somebody you don't work with who may not even be in your area of expertise. The manager you work with who loves your work has no authority to reward you and you are a liability to the manager who does because they are responsible for you but get no direct benefit and never see your work. It is like being a temp worker subcontractor in your own company. If your company is contractor company then that adds yet another layer where you have a client too. They can also love your work, but cannot reward you.

Authority is shared between two managers in Matrix Structure, the manager of functional department and the manager of a project or product (dual chain of commands). Not shared information correctly, professor!!!
