The miracle of 3 lines of code that broke down silos

Why is collaboration so hard? As a developer, I've always struggled with this issue.
My company was a typical "siloed organization": planning was stuck in its own world, development was stuck in its own world, design was stuck in its own world, and as project deadlines approached, there was a lot of blaming: "Planning was late," "Development didn't understand," "Design wasn't realistic," etc.
During a code review, it suddenly dawned on me: just like a program doesn't work if the functions can't pass data to and from each other, neither can teams!
So I created these prompts:

# Collaborative Culture Diagnostic & Improvement System.
## A. Analyze the current state
- Frequency of communication between teams: [current number of communications per week/month].
- Major points of conflict: [3 specific examples]
- How information is shared: [tools/methods currently in use]
## B. Identify barriers to collaboration
- Identify process pain points
- Identify communication breakdown points
- Clear up areas of unclear accountability
## C. Offer customized solutions
- Short-term actionable improvements (1 week or less)
- Medium-term culture change strategy (1-3 months)
- Long-term organizational transformation roadmap (6 months to 1 year)
Please analyze my organization's [specific situation] and suggest ways to improve collaboration that I can apply immediately.
We were blown away by the results of AI's analysis. The key thing we were missing was 'asynchronous communication' - we were insisting on live meetings when each team has a different work rhythm.
We immediately created a "daily update thread" in Slack. Just sharing three lines of status at our convenience increased transparency: the development team could see changes from the planning team in real time, and the design team could help solve problems with the other teams.
The results after three months? Project delays were reduced by 40%, employee satisfaction increased by 25%, and the most amazing thing was that we stopped saying "because of whom" and started saying "because of us".
What's the state of your team's collaboration code right now? Isn't it time to give it a debug?
