# Team Collaboration is NOT Project Management

 The challenges of handling collaboration in a fast-paced environment can be overwhelming. Without set objectives, business processes start to deteriorate.

 May 22, 2018, 2:08:00 PM

Whether a business is local or global, the challenges of handling collaboration in a fast-paced and competitive environment can be overwhelming, especially when adding it onto the complexity of project management. **Without set objectives and proper discipline, the business process can start to deteriorate**. In fact, according to [HBR](https://hbr.org/2015/06/75-of-cross-functional-teams-are-dysfunctional), 75% of Cross-functional teams are dysfunctional and only have a 19% project success rate.

To be successful, companies should have a clear idea about how to manage their projects and promote collaborative teams (both cross-disciplinary and cross-departmental) to keep their businesses on course.

There are no turnkey solutions to collaboration and project management that will work for every business, but with a little research and effort you can learn about the collaborative techniques and tools that are working for your industry.

To get a sense of what you need to know and how to move forward, I’ve put together a longer post on “[Understanding Project Management and Collaborative Project Management](https://stratford.group/insights/understanding-collaborative-project-management/)”. It’s a great first step to gaining the proper knowledge to move your team toward increased collaboration and higher project success rates.
