What is Team Collaboration?
Team collaboration means working together with others in a company, department, or small group. While some tasks are done individually, much of the work in businesses involves teamwork. People collaborate when they share a common goal or purpose, which is often the case.
- a shared project that team members are working on
- a shared process where multiple people or departments come together, such as onboarding a new employee
Working together as a team on a project, process, or idea usually produces better results than working alone. However, effective teamwork requires clear communication and everyone having access to the same information, data, or documents. It’s important to have a single source of truth that guides decisions and collaboration. Searching for information from multiple sources can cause delays, confusion, and misunderstandings.
That’s why many companies use dedicated tools—team collaboration software—where team members can work together, see the big picture, and more easily reach their shared goals. In these platforms, team members share information, assign tasks, take notes, and discuss ideas or different viewpoints to find better solutions.
