Most people tend to identify more socially and psychologically with their function and responsibilities than with their organization. This can lead to conflicts between team members, as teams also generate their own identities and loyalties. Second, cross-functional teams are subject to significant pressure and conflict because they are often temporary task teams, which are created to work on a specific project or goal.

The "stage-setting" elements indirectly affect project outcomes by influencing team behavior, which in turn affects project performance. Collaboration, ownership, and commitment are essential to project success, as stage-setting elements alone may not produce sufficient results.<ref name="Edward" /> Therefore this model also emphasizes the role of "enablers," such as senior managers, team leaders, and champions, in shaping project performance. Enablers influence project success primarily by influencing team behavior, rather than having a direct impact on project outcomes. With their own actions and the foundation they establish for new projects, they are playing an important role in fostering a collaborative and respectful team environment. In addition, contextual factors, such as company size and industry, can influence stage-setting elements, enablers, and team behavior. <ref name="Edward" />		[[File:Figure_Sucess_framework.png\|thumb\|text-bottom\|right\|500px\|Figure 2: Model of proposed interactions among stage setters, enablers, team behaviors, and cross-functional team success, own figure adopted from <ref name="Edward" />]] Figure 1 shows the importance and interaction of certain initial conditions and factors which where described above.
