How is that different from any largish organization?  My organization is 
roughly 250 people (within a much larger company), and there are two 
projects underway to accomplish roughly the same thing.  I happen to know 
a lot about the topic, so both groups came to me.  Neither had heard that 
there was another project (and the second group had to deal with my 
initial confusion, as I didn't realize that they were on a second 
project).
