One common challenge is ensuring clear communication, as team members may have different priorities or technical backgrounds. Designers need to advocate for user-centered solutions while balancing business goals and technical constraints. Establishing a shared vocabulary and using visual prototypes can help bridge gaps and ensure everyone is aligned throughout the project.
