Project management question!
Expert Answer
| Conflict Sources | formulation | Early Prog | Main Prog | End of prog |
| Schedules | Initial schedules are not fully clear so conflicts arise, but no stakeholder is fully sure yet | By now different stakeholders are already defining their goals and management is clear about the target this leads to conflict in schedules | By now management expects to crunch the project to get the deadline and targets met, but as per the real progress and on going work the targets are difficult to meet, hence the conflict is highest | As the project nears end the management is awre of the progress but still want to crunch and so there is decrease in conflict |
| Priorities | Priorities are not clear at this point of time but everyone of the stakeholders try to get their goals first | By now everyone is clear of their priority and as the resources at each level needs to be set the priorities cause a lot of conflict | Once the main phase is run the priorities are set and there is very less conflict | No more or very less as most of the work is already done |
| Labor | The resources are fixed or set and their utlization is a small source of conflict by now | Once the initiation takes place there is conflict on the resource utilization and each stakeholders want to deploy the agile resource | At this time labor crunch is highest as they need the agile resource at their disposal | Once the work is nearing completion again the crunch is less and hence less conflict |
| Technical | Techinical is similar to schedules, the clarity is being formed by now | At this time the technical complexity is understood and all want to define it and so there is higher conflict | This is when the real technical application occurs and most of the implementation, modification and optimization leads to higher conflict | Once the work is nearing completion again the application is less and hence less conflict |
| Procedure | Both causes are determined before the actual start and hence the conflict arises among all stakeholders | Procedures are almost fixed by now only these finnalization is casuing the conflict, and cost is fixed by now | Both the factors are fixed by now and hnce a fixed level of conflict | Both the factors are fixed by now and hnce a fixed level of conflict |
| Cost | ||||
| Personality | This is the planning phase and all ego clashes happen in this | Even now there are a lot of changes in place and each person wants to be the commander so conflict arises | This is fixed by now and hnce a fixed level of conflict | This is fixed by now and hnce a fixed level of conflict |
