Introduction
Introduction
Project conflicts can arise between multiple stakeholders in a
project. The reasons can be anything – opposing ideas, project
stress, unforeseen requirements, budgetary constraints, lack of
commitment, or personal ego clashes.
When a conflict arises, it negatively impacts all the people
involved from the top-level management to those working in
the lower echelon. Because of this, projects get stalled
temporarily, leading to time and cost overruns.
Types of Conflict
Conflict within an organisation can occur at the individual level or
between multiple individuals. Organisational conflicts can be
broadly classified into the following categories
Causes of Conflict

Project Vision
Group Differences
Lack of communication
Poor leadership
The conflict resolution process
Conflict resolution is a process, whether informal or formal, used by
parties engaged in a dispute to seek a resolution.
Strategies for
Conflict Resolution

Collaboration: Encourage open communication


and cooperation to find mutually beneficial
solutions.
Compromise: Each party gives up something to
reach a middle ground.
Accommodation: One party prioritizes the
concerns of the other party to resolve the conflict.
Avoidance: Temporarily sidestep the conflict if
it's not critical or can be addressed later.
Competition: One party pursues their interests at
the expense of others, often used as a last resort.
