  13. Project Team Benefits • Learn individual & group assets/strengths • Better understand group diversity & interdependence • Improve negotiation, compromise, & collaborative skills • Accelerate group trust • Enhanced sense of achieving goals

  14. Project Conflict • When two or more people disagree • Often induced by Change and/or Leadership (or lack there of) • People have valid approaches and earnest concerns and is an opportunity to explore and amplify success

  15. Managing Conflict • Review the conflict landscape • Choose collaboration as the technique of choice • Negotiate with a positive focus • Encourage different opinions • Be team centric to help resolve the conflict

  16. Conflict Resolution & Team Building • People have different styles (Gladwell’s Connectors, Mavens, Salesmen) • Reduce extreme behaviors • The project team’s style

  17. Conflict Case Study • Business Analyst interprets business requirements literally (e.g. we need cloud computing to do X) • BA tends to emphasize Business political relationships as justifications for position • IT Architect has a longer-term strategic vision that considers evolutionary roadmaps for the business and technology • Architect uses technology jargon in stating position • General project team mood is detachment from the conversation as SME stake their ground • Creates feeling of individual project team views are unimportant, not solicited • Social loafing is prevalent with other cross-functional participants as they ‘wait’ for a reconciliation • Status updates give no indication of issues surfacing at the project team level • Conflict style is avoidance.

  18. Conflict Case Study • Course of Action • Acknowledge the conflict is prevalent and it’s the project team’s responsibility to collectively resolve • Engage the participants in a collaborative forum to review • Messaging to both groups are positive (e.g. Collaborative Meeting to Analyze Cloud Computing Solution) • Request documentation representing both sides of issue to be available for the project team members • All core project team members are expected to contribute • Repeat until a resolution is reached. • Escalate only if a resolution is not reached. • When the entire project team becomes a part of solutioning their commitment is stronger thereafter
