We did that at my last company, and still had lots of trouble.  A 
big reason for that, I think, was that we lacked a "stop eating 
when full" rule.  Each person was assigned way more stuff than 
they could do.  Also, our projects were highly matrixed.  One 
person leads a project, supported by many people from many other 
organizations, each of whom leads and participates on several 
other projects.  The combination of highly matrixed and 
overcommitted set up a deadly dynamic:  lots of progress early 
on.  Near zero progress as deadlines neared.
