# apply conflict management — Project Manager

For a Project Manager, 'apply conflict management' isn’t about *avoiding* disagreements – it’s about proactively addressing them before they derail the project. Daily this means facilitating difficult conversations between team members with differing opinions on technical approaches, resource allocation, or task prioritization. It also extends to managing expectations with stakeholders when scope changes arise or deadlines become unrealistic. You'll be using techniques like active listening (really understanding *why* someone feels a certain way), mediation (guiding the conversation towards solutions), and negotiation (finding compromises that keep things moving). Think regular check-ins, risk registers specifically noting potential interpersonal conflicts, and documented decision logs to show transparency.
