The speed at which a firm can change depends on how well its different parts operate together. But in most firms, it’s also why things go wrong, like missing deadlines, losing track of things, and having to perform things twice. Marketing needs finance, operations needs finance, and everyone needs updates that come too late most of the time. What went wrong? Slow handoffs, unclear ownership, and systems that are too complicated for their own good.
That’s why digital technologies that are connected are more than just helpful; they are what makes a business work. The best project management tools do more than just keep track of what needs to be done. They also decide how people, information, and processes work together amongst departments. They help you pass things off, view everything at once, and keep track of what’s going on.
This is what Lark does. The integrated features are not meant to replace team functions; they are meant to bring them together. This lets finance, HR, operations, sales, and marketing all work together. This is how each Lark feature helps departments work together and removes the things that make it hard for them to do so.
Lark Base: Creating a unified view across operations
Sharing information is the first step toward making departments work better together. The company’s data is only stored in Lark Base. In this approach, all departments can see the same real-time source of truth. Marketing can figure out how much money is available for a campaign and how long it will take. HR can keep track of how many people they hire and how much work each department has to do. Operations can check on the progress of initiatives in different parts of the business. Each team can stay organized while also being honest and open with the rest of the company thanks to customizable views. Base updates itself, so changes happen all around the ecosystem right away. You don’t have to report or reconcile them by hand. It is a flexible framework that keeps everyone in all departments on the same page and aware of what is going on without having to continually coordinate.
Lark Messenger: Keeping collaboration fluid and contextual
It’s hard for departments to talk to each other since they do it in different areas, such emails, chat rooms, and notes that are all over the place. Lark Messenger fixes this by making conversation into coordination based on the situation. You can connect to relevant Base, Docs, or Tasks records from any chat. This makes it possible for people to chat to each other whereverr they are. For instance, when the product team changes the release plans, marketing and support can see them right away on threads that everyone can see. Smart notifications make sure that messages travel to the correct people without any noise, and real-time translation lets people who speak various languages talk to each other. Messenger connects talks across departments into workflows, which makes it possible to make choices faster than ever before.
Lark Tasks: Coordinating action across every function
When dependencies aren’t managed correctly, one team has to wait for another to finish, which slows down work. Lark Tasks fixes this problem by using sophisticated tracking to make sure that work never stops. Tasks lets the design and review teams know right away when marketing is done creating campaign assets. After then, it tells sales to have the client paperwork ready. Everyone can see what each department is doing, which keeps everyone on the same page and accountable without having to micromanage. Dashboards allow leaders to see how things are going right now, which helps them find delays before they get worse. Lark Tasks makes sure that all departments work together and that every deliverable proceeds seamlessly from one stage to the next by integrating planning to execution.
Lark Docs: Turning shared work into shared progress
When people work together on papers, a lot of cross-functional processes get stuck. There are a lot of different versions, input gets lost, and updates don’t happen. Lark Docs overcomes that problem by giving each department a single, interactive environment where they can all work on the same project at the same time. A product plan could have all of these things in one file: financial projections, operational goals, and marketing schedules. The document features built-in charts, dashboards, and task lists that make sure it always shows the most up-to-date information, not old attachments. Everyone can see every comment, edit, and approval. This makes things obvious and makes sure that all departments stick to their decisions. Docs turn reports that don’t change into active workspaces where people can work together to get things done without becoming confused.
Lark Wiki: Preserving cross-functional knowledge for the future
When teams operate alone, they can lose important information when projects are finished or people leave. Lark Wiki doesn’t lose information like that since it keeps institutional information in a library that is easy to find and well-organized. Writing down workflows, best practices, and case studies that other departments can use later helps cut down on having to deal with the same issues again and over. For instance, if operations writes down a supply chain process, marketing or procurement canutilisee that same model again without having to start over. Wiki links people from different teams so that departments can learn from the mistakes of others. It turns information into a resource that anyone in any department can use whenever they choose. This makes sure that you never have to look for a lesson or a solution to make the process better again.
Lark Approval: Streamlining governance through automated workflow
It’s generally harder to make choices when a lot of departments have to wait for late approvals or missing information. Lark Approval gets rid of these kinds of problems by putting decisions into a connected, automated workflow that doesn’t depend on delays but on clarity. Requests for things like budget approvals, vendor selections, or HR approvals go through set digital channels that automatically let the proper people know in the right order or at the same time. Every approver can see all the information they need, like linked Docs, Base data, and comments, so they can make quick, smart choices. Once accepted, updates are delivered to all areas of the system right away. This means that teams that need to act don’t have to wait for approval. This makes governance both compliant and ongoing, which lets executives keep an eye on things without slowing down business. Lark Approval changes a bottleneck into a flow, which keeps things going along smoothly.
Conclusion
There are processes in place to make sure that communication across departments goes smoothly. Lark is what brings everything together and turns broken workflows into one smooth action. Base’s shared visibility, Messenger’s easy communication, and Approval’s smart automation all work together to make sure that no project gets lost between departments.
Lark makes people, data, and choices more connected, which cuts down on duplication, speeds up response times, and makes individuals more responsible. This is the kind of new idea that makes modern agility possible by making sure that teams can talk to each other and get things done more quickly. Lark is the next step in project management software for companies who want to get things done quickly. It makes it possible for all the departments to work together all the time, without any problems.
You don’t have to perform more work to be more efficient; you just have to get rid of work that doesn’t need to be done.
