Engineering great products is a team event

What is your definition of teamwork?

"Successfully completing the roles and responsibilities to produce the product or deliver the service." ?

"Everyone doing his part of the process to complete the job successfully." ?

"Working together to get the job done." ?

These definitions focus on the result, or outcome rather than on how people work together

Successful teamwork is based on successful communication
