There is no real right answer to this quesion - it depends on the organization and the number of projects they have to work on.  \n\nThe standard organization structures that are most often quoted are Functional, Weak Matrix, Balanced Matrix, Strong Matrix, and Projectized Matrix.  This last two are probably most appropriate for most organizations working on a large number of projects, but there are disadvantages to both.\n\nThe term collocation doesn't really refer to an organizational structure as much as it means having the project team in the same physical location - which could be done in any of the organizational structures.

If you have a flow chart (as you should have), you could break the whole project down and have a larger number of team members work on subroutines or modules independently. You just have to have an agreed convention of GUI,  passing variables, and error trapping.
