Collaboration: The Secret to Creative Thinking
Collaboration is when two or more people work together to solve a problem or accomplish a task. Research has shown that when people collaborate, projects are completed faster and more efficiently. Collaborative work is also less stressful than working alone. Working together with other professionals can help come up with new ideas, which are almost always better than the ones suggested by one person alone.
Collaboration is important because it increases the chance of identifying the right requirements that are needed to meet the business objectives by making sure all stakeholders are involved in identifying needs and wants for their respective areas.
