Smooth out cross-functional collaboration and reach goals faster with monday.com

Clunky workflows can create friction between teams and make cross-functional projects a huge challenge. That means projects get derailed and goals aren’t met. 

Here’s how monday.com can address challenges head-on:

Challenge: Unclear roles and responsibilities

Without clear reporting structures and well-organized projects, cross-functional teams can struggle. Team members may feel unsure about who they should be reporting to or which task should be top priority.

How monday.com can fix it: 

Organization is key when it comes to cross-functional collaboration, and work management software makes it a whole lot easier for everyone involved. With monday.com, you can input everyone’s assignments, duties, and deadlines in one place.

Tasks can be individually assigned to team members, so everyone knows exactly what they need to do and when they need to do it. This also makes it easy to track progress and spot roadblocks that might derail the project.

Challenge: Overcoming the silo mentality

Many companies default to silos — information, tasks, and projects are managed in separate spaces with no overlap. Teams have their own goals and priorities. As a result, people have little insight into the projects other teams are working on.

How monday.com can fix it: 

The solution to overcoming this problem is transparency. You need to create the systems and shared objectives that will ensure your team is all pulling in the same direction.

Break down silos by offering your team members shared workspaces. For instance, using a work management software like monday.com means that you can bring all your company projects into a single, unified workspace so that everyone can see what’s going on at any given time. 

Challenge: Easing the communication burden 

Employees are busy — they’re unlikely to go out of their way to notify other people about what they’re working on unless you make it extremely easy to do so.

How monday.com can fix it: 

To encourage cross-functional collaboration, make sure your teams have tools that support communication within the flow of work.

For instance, monday.com integrates with all the tools businesses already use — like Microsoft Teams, Gmail, Slack, Jira, and Salesforce — so you can work together on shared projects without switching tabs.
