A cross-functional team is a collection of people from several functional areas or divisions of an organization that collaborate on a single project, task, or objective. Members of a cross-functional team offer distinct talents, knowledge, and views to the project, allowing them to cooperate and contribute to its success.

Example

To create a new product or service, a business may form a cross-functional team. Members of the team might come from diverse areas, including marketing, engineering, finance, and operations. Each team member contributes specific expertise and experience to the project, resulting in a more thorough and integrated approach. The cross-functional team enables efficient communication, faster decision-making, and a thorough grasp of the project's needs. Cross-functional teams foster creativity, problem resolution, and resource efficiency by drawing on multiple viewpoints and skills. HR departments help to build cross-functional teams, ensure cooperation, and support team members with training, coordination, and dispute resolution.
