The traditional handoff approach leads to bottlenecks and deployment delays. Effective collaboration requires integrated workflows throughout the entire ML lifecycle, from data collection and feature engineering to model deployment and monitoring. Federated collaboration models, where cross-functional teams maintain central governance while working closely with domain teams, prove most effective. Success depends on shared infrastructure like feature stores, joint KPIs, automated pipelines, and continuous feedback loops that bridge innovation with operational excellence. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
