Teamwork & Collaboration Competency Template

1. Cross-Functional Partnership

Quality of working relationships with people and teams outside their direct group. Reliability as a cross-functional partner.

ExceedsActively sought out as a cross-functional partner. Peer teams report them as one of the easiest people to work with in the org. Confirm's ONA shows high collaboration density across multiple teams.
MeetsEffective cross-functional partner when collaboration is needed. Responsive to requests from other teams. Delivers on cross-team commitments reliably.
BelowCross-functional friction is common. Other teams work around them when possible. Cross-team commitments slip without proactive communication.
Example phrases:
  • "The design team specifically requested to be paired with this engineer for Q2 after last quarter's collaboration—unsolicited feedback."
  • "ONA data shows they have the highest cross-team collaboration score in the engineering org, particularly with product and data teams."
  • "When a dependency slipped, they proactively reached out to the affected teams 2 weeks early—no one was surprised or blocked."

2. Reliability as a Teammate

Consistency of follow-through on commitments made to the group. Whether teammates can count on them when it matters.

ExceedsNever drops the ball on group commitments. If something can't be done, communicates early enough for the team to adjust. Others calibrate their plans around this person's reliability.
MeetsDelivers on commitments to the team consistently. Escalates blockers before they become misses. Team can count on them for their scope.
BelowGroup commitments slip without early warning. Team compensates for their gaps. Sprint or project retros frequently surface delivery issues tied to this person.

3. Knowledge Sharing

Proactive sharing of context, expertise, and information that others need. Reducing single-points-of-failure in institutional knowledge.

ExceedsCreates documentation, guides, and processes that reduce team dependency on any single person. Others cite their contributions as multiplying team capability.
MeetsShares information when asked. Documents work in shared formats others can use. Doesn't hoard knowledge as leverage.
BelowKnowledge stays siloed. Others need to repeatedly ask for the same information. Their departure would create a significant knowledge gap.
Example phrases:
  • "The runbook they wrote for the incident process has saved the team an estimated 6 hours per on-call rotation."
  • "Hosted three lunch-and-learns on the new data pipeline—reduced onboarding time for new engineers who joined mid-project."

4. Credit Sharing & Generosity

Attribution of group wins appropriately. Willingness to elevate others' contributions and take on team-benefiting work without requiring recognition.

ExceedsActively amplifies others' contributions. Volunteers for team-overhead work without being asked. Team members feel seen and credited for their work.
MeetsAttributes group wins to the team rather than only themselves. Willing to take on shared work even when not directly rewarded for it.
BelowTakes individual credit for group work. Reluctant to contribute to team overhead unless it's visible. Others feel their contributions are overlooked.

Collaboration reviews backed by data, not manager impressions.

Confirm's Organizational Network Analysis shows actual collaboration patterns across your company—who works with whom, who is siloed, who is a connector. Pair ONA data with behavioral anchors for teamwork reviews that are defensible, fair, and hard to game.
