I think for marketing, at least, it would be interesting to be able to present things like a marketing plan and/or a deliverables roadmap and get input from the other teams. Having an opportunity to talk about it in a forum with people from other teams gives us a chance to identify things like: * crossover - "hey, we're doing the same thing, or had the same idea" * scheduling discussions - are we allowing enough time for X to happen, before Y in other groups needs to happen, particularly with new processes * how groups can service each other - what can marketing do to help advertise things like "we need people to come to test days," or "we would love to have people be helping do documentation" - or how can marketing get help doing translations? There are numerous pockets of brainpower in different groups that aren't getting a lot of exposure to each other - and therefore aren't finding out what we can all do for each other. * please tell us where we're lacking. -robyn > > > -- > Paul W.
