# Language Mapping for Cross-Functional Teams

Description Across organisations, teams donʼt slow down because they lack frameworks, strategy, or skill. They slow down because they use the same words to mean different things: “Doneˮ | “Experimentˮ | “Valueˮ | “Priorityˮ | “Technical debtˮ. People agree in meetings, then execute differently, leading to rework, delays, and frustration. This isnʼt a communication skill issue. Itʼs a meaning alignment problem across roles, levels, and domains. This workshop makes that invisible problem visible in a practical, hands-on session. A hands-on workshop to surface hidden misalignment between product, design, engineering, and business, and give participants a practical tool they can take back to their teams. Participants will: See how identical terms fracture across disciplines and seniority levels Experience how alignment breaks even among highly capable professionals Learn a concrete method to surface and resolve these gaps quickly Key takeaways A Language Map of terms that need alignment. A reusable framework they can apply in their own teams and organisations. Speaker Product Leader & Ambassador @ UXDX Mihaela is a product leader with 15 years experience in building B2C and B2B global products and leading product teams in various industries. She's led and scaled cross-functional teams, launched new products, and worked closely with business, design, engineering, and leadership teams, while shifting away from a project mindset and towards a user-centric and outcome-oriented approach.
