Some of the challenges of course are managing joint schedules and deliverables, but it has solved many of the problems designers face such as getting specs correctly implemented and gaining buy-in/camaraderie with dev. With your design coders in dev, has their been any impact to synergy with the design team or no? I assume the design coders no longer report to the design manager correct? That would concern me...

We just moved our designy coders to the dev teams where they aren't so isolated and matrixed and are trying to focus on interaction design in the core (and matrixed) design team, delivering light mockups only during up front feature work, then partnering again with their former buddies when it's time to build.
