Often, collaboration gets confused with "consensus-building" or some other flavor of "everyone always in the same room."
Good collaboration doesn't preclude solo time. Instead, it is adopting behaviors to work together effectively. In our field, that always includes quiet time.

Collaboration encompasses a set of techniques and habits and behaviors that:
1. yield products that are better than an individual could create on their own
2. define how someone contributes to the team's effort

The following things are collaboration because they're almost always present on good teams:
- arguing
- decision-making criteria
- one person having final authority
- time constraints
- quiet solo time
- ad hoc conversations

Oh, and I wrote a whole book about collaboration called Designing Together. I have it on excellent authority that good teams also buy this book. Great teams? Great teams buy one copy for each member of the team. No joke.
