  Collaboration is a key driving force for a team's success. In this case
study, we discuss the collaboration practices of the Design Team and a subset
of product teams at Chatham Financial -- a financial risk management advisory
and technology firm. The Design Team's collaboration workflow has four key
elements surrounding the structure, cross-team communication, onboarding, and
feedback that occurs both in team and cross-team collaborative partnerships.
Each of the key elements leads to a unique set of challenges and opportunities
for the Design Team. We analyze the current state of each element, their value
proposition, challenges, and initiatives undertaken to make the collaboration
practice more robust
