team coordination
Working together smoothly
Team coordination is the process of organizing individual efforts toward a shared goal.
It involves timing, communication, and role clarity—ensuring people work together rather than at cross purposes.
Good team coordination means members know who does what and when: The project failed due to poor team coordination.
The term appears frequently in workplace and sports contexts.
