Handling Conflict Management in PMP

Ways to handle Conflict Management includes:

  • Confrontation
    The confrontation approach focus on identifying the underlying problem and working out solutions for it in a way that allows the involved parties to work through their disagreement.

  • Compromise
    Compromise involves working out a middle ground that satisfies all parties to some degree. This can be called the win-win approach.

  • Smoothing
    Smoothing de-emphasizes differences between points of view and focuses on commonalities.

  • Forcing
    Forcing approach requires others to yield to the point of view of one side or another. It is also also call the win-lose approach and can increase conflict.

  • Withdrawal
    Withdrawal involves avoiding or retreating from the conflict or potential conflict and allowing the involved parties to work out the conflict on their own.
