Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cross-functional teams are designed to include members from different functional teams to address issues and work processes that cut across multiple functions. Their main objective is to facilitate communication, coordination, and collaboration between different departments to solve complex problems that affect the entire organization. Unlike functional teams, cross-functional teams disband once their task is completed.
