Cross-team project management

In some cases, you might find yourself needing to work with multiple teams to make a specific project happen. For example, let’s say you’re about to launch a new product in your company. There are multiple stakeholders, and your team will be dependent on other teams to complete everything. It’s like you’re choreographing a big dance!

In this case, it might not make sense to have lists for each stage. Instead, you could create a list for each of the departments or teams that are involved in the project. Check out this template: trello.com/b/hyBcI9lX/pm72-single-project-board.
