Cross-functional collaboration

As explained in The Art of AI Product Development

Cross-functional collaboration is coordinated work among people from different professional or functional roles toward shared product goals.

Cross-functional collaboration coordinates people with different expertise around shared product goals. In AI work, it must align technical feasibility, business objectives, user value, and uncertainty. section 12.0

Make collaboration practical by:

Aligning engineers, data scientists, domain experts, UX designers, executives, sales teams, and customers around the product’s purpose. section 12.0
Translating between technical constraints, domain knowledge, stakeholder priorities, and customer needs. section 12.0
Mediating conflicts transparently by prioritizing end-user and business needs when speed, accuracy, or other goals compete. section 12.1.6
Addressing missing expertise or delayed contributions with offers of support rather than pressure. section 12.1.6
