Noun (collaboration)
‘Collaboration’ is a feminine noun meaning ‘collaboration’ or ‘teamwork’.
Prepositional phrase (de l'équipe)
‘de’ introduces a complement of possession; ‘l'’ is the elided form of ‘la’ before a vowel, so ‘de l’équipe’ means ‘of the team’.
Verb (est)

Adjective agreement (géniale)
‘génial(e)’ means ‘great/awesome’; it agrees in gender and number with the noun it describes, so the feminine singular form is ‘géniale’.
