How do you ensure collaboration between cross-functional team members?

Best practices:

• Daily Scrum encourages daily alignment.

Follow On:

• Task ownership is flexible — any team member can pick tasks.
• Use shared goals (Sprint Goal) instead of individual targets.
• Foster a safe environment for asking questions and learning.
• Encourage pairing between devs, designers, testers, etc.

Example:

In a team building a healthcare dashboard, developers work closely with UX designers to

ensure usability and compliance, reviewing designs together before coding begins.
