Improve Cross-Team Communication
Most cross-team friction is communication failure, not competence failure. AI helps you bridge team boundaries.
Works with:
Example Prompt
I need to communicate with: [OTHER TEAM/DEPARTMENT]. About: [REQUEST OR INFORMATION]. Their priorities: [WHAT THEY CARE ABOUT]. Context they need: [BACKGROUND]. My ask: [WHAT I NEED]. Write a request that respects their perspective and makes helping easy.
Pro Tip
Explain why your request matters in their terms. "This helps your customers" resonates more than "I need this for my project."
