ABSTRACT:

Collaboration among members of an IT team is natural for most of us. Within the IT team, our own procedures and language create a familiar environment to understand and be understood.

However, collaboration with business clients often falls short of the effectiveness that would create the highest-quality projects. Functional specifications don't always map directly to business needs and business user requirements can get lost in the technical translation.

Improving interaction with our business clients ensures that what our teams produce moves our business forward. This paper discusses five things you can do right now to improve collaboration with business users.
