This paper discusses examples for good engineering practices which have been successfully developed and applied in the construction of the European XFEL. It addresses appropriate combination of de-/central activities in design collaboration and integration; the use of manufacturing bills of materials for coordinating and tracking contributions, as well as for clarifying responsibilities; the right amount of reviews for keeping activities in synch; some specific needs of and measures for in-kind collaboration; and general methods, tools and practices and spirit for efficient communication and collaboration.
