The Matrix view shows a total pattern of the relationships amongst model elements. The rows and column headers are populated with a project element (such as teams, products, phases, and activities). The cell at the intersection of a row and column displays summary information about their relationship. Selecting a cell will display a detail pane appropriate to the relationships being presented.
By clicking on the toolbar button (shown above), one of four matrix versions can be viewed:
