and various aspects of this management style that can be reflected in the overall
delivery of the satisfied delivery. The logic consideration was a broad extension
in this week lecture that is helpful in identifying the necessary outcomes of the
project. This week helped in understanding the broader scope of the project
conflict management considering the wider and bigger course of action that can
contribute in the enhancement of the project quality and standard.

The PMBoK emphasizes on the conflict management and provided strategies
those could be followed for the effective and efficient management of the
conflict arising throughout the project lifecycle. Conflicts can cause delay in the
project, and hence, affect the overall project constraints in delivering the
needed output and production. The conflict should be solved through analysing
the situation, determining the best negotiation, and selecting a in the between
objective that can satisfy both the parties needs and requirements.

stakeholder within the process and manage the project delivery. Project
constraints also depends on the resolved and solved conflicts within the project.
