One of the central themes of the video is the necessity for collaboration among various roles—designers, developers, marketers, and salespeople.

Begin by understanding your users’ needs and pain points. Involve your design, development, marketing, and sales teams early on to ensure that all aspects of the product align with creating a great user experience.

Cross-functional collaboration ensures that every aspect of the product, from design to functionality to marketing, is aligned with creating a seamless user experience. It helps address issues from multiple perspectives and enhances the overall product quality.
