If you have an overlap of team members and an overlap of
responsibilities, it usually means nothing is going to get done or something
will get done, but twice in slightly different ways.
At what level do your teams communicate and how often?
Even separate teams working in unique areas should be exchanging ideas
and leveraging from one another. Ways to encourage communication include
joint meetings on topics of mutual interest, peer reviews of team-developed
work products across teams, and assigning a representative from a related
team as a member of the team.

Do your teams have an unhealthy competition?
Multiple teams within an organization have been known to spend an unbalanced
amount of time protecting their sphere of influence, their budget, and
their unique processes. You need to be sensitive to this situation. If you are a
member of one or more of these teams you may need an impartial third party
to look at and evaluate your work and determine the value of what has been
accomplished.
