Gowtham's response indicates some experience with cross-functional collaboration, mentioning work with testers, design teams, and direct discussions with clients. However, the response is somewhat disorganized and lacks clarity on the specific outcomes of these collaborations. To improve, Gowtham should provide a more structured account of his experience, focusing on a specific project, detailing the roles of different teams, the challenges faced, and how effective collaboration led to the successful achievement of the project goals.
