How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

In my role as a dashboard specialist, I work closely with teams that interact directly with clients, like Account Managers and Support Agents. They handle the “what” and "why" part of the changes, while I take care of the "how" by implementing technical updates to the dashboard.
