Great post!

I feel a lot of times conflict is also due to miscommunication.

You have one person who thinks the goal is “A” while another thinks it’s “B” but in reality it’s “C” and that’s a goal both people will agree on.

So one other method would be to redefine and clarify the problem. Make sure everyone is on the same page.

Great job, Biswamohan.

You have touched upon a subject which is vital for every PM. Many get into a withdrawal mode very quickly. I myself (I realise many times) get into some kind of a forcing OR withdrawal mode in quite a few situations.

This is especially the case when your Functional Head is at loggerheads with the PMO team and sadly in many cases I found that the joint responsibility between functional team and the PM is forgotten by the functional guys. Ours is not a Software organisation but a Project business organisation and the PM’s have enormous responsibilty and it is a true matrix structure organisation.
