Picture it: Your company’s landed on an important and shiny new project and it needs a team to bring it to life. Cue the barrage of big questions—questions like: “So…who’s on this team? What support will they receive? When will they meet? Wait, is this extra work or something different?”Welcome to the wonderful world of cross-functional teaming. Standing up a cross-functional team is a place where plenty of organizations stumble—because it’s asking most systems to play a game they aren’t designed to play well.

In this episode of Brave New Work, Aaron Dignan and Rodney Evans team up (see what we did there?) to answer questions like:

• How should cross-functional teams—as well as the projects they work on—be chartered?
• Should the size and scope of an idea impact how a team is designed?
• What level and kind of authority should cross-functional teams be given?
• What are the first moves cross-functional teams always need to make?
• How can we bake experimentation into this cake?
