Collaboration

Most Companies Use Collaboration Tools
In 2012, McKinsey Global Institute reported that
using social technologies within companies can improve
communications and collaboration up to 25%.
Today, 77% of companies are adopting collaboration
tools to a great or moderate extent.

Why Collaboration Is Important

Projects Fail Without Collaboration
Fewer than 1/3 of all projects were successfully
completed on time and on the budget over the past year.
Only 29% of all software projects in companies are successful.
33% of projects fail because of a lack of
involvement from the entire project team.

What Is Collaboration?
Collaboration means:
• Maintaining a manageable system of feedback loops.
• Creating an environment of visibility within the organization.
• Defining accountability in all parts of the team’s process.
• Communicating consistently.
• Using disciplined exchanges of communication.

Collaboration Leads to Long-Term Success
“Coming together is a beginning,
keeping together is progress,
and working together is a success.”

Benefits of Collaboration
• Moves beyond the power of
one to the power of team.
• Democratizes information,
documents, and workflows
for your team.
• Nurtures better brainstorming.
• Allows the project manager to
go from controlling the project
to optimizing it.
• Speeds completion.
• Avoids communication breakdowns.
• Makes it easier to work remotely
with colleagues.

Examples of Software Team Collaboration

Example 1: Work Items/Tasks
• Share new issues quickly.
• Use team knowledge to get
resolutions done faster.
• Gain visibility into common
issues as a team.
• Ensure faster resolution for
the customer.

Example 2: Requirements/User Stories
• Get feedback on requirements/
do requirement reviews.
• Increase team knowledge
on planned features.
• Capture discussions on
requirements/features easily.
• Involve consultants,
pre-sales, and sales teams.

Example 3: Testing
• See bug fixes and act on
them quickly.
• Push test results to
collaboration portal/tool.
• Get a faster feedback loop
between testing and
development.

1. Encourage Open Communication
Open up the communication and break down
the command and control structures.
Let the teams solve the problems.

2. Align Their Interests
The best way to get people to work together is to
align their interests — and help them understand
the value of each other's work.

3. Implement Effective Task Management
The key to successful team collaboration is implementing an
effective system that manages the tasks and projects for your team.
