Chapter 6, Problem 1DQ
Why do you think schedule issues often cause the most conflicts on projects?
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Scheduling causing conflicts on projects:
- Scheduling is an important stage of planning that helps project team to properly execute the project.
- Unless it is carried out properly, it might lead to project delays and over budget.
- Many projects fail when there is poor time management and wastage of other resources.
- It is important to involve all stakeholders so that sufficient time is ensured to carry out all activities.
- Time is a major constraint from Client perspective, and biggest plan is to complete projects within the stipulated time.
- Sometimes during the end of the project, there is a big push to complete it, and it might cause conflicts internally within the team which adds to work pressure of the members.
- Hence time constraints and scheduling tasks create conflicts within the team.
- Also, while working with people from different culture and regions of the world also create differences in plan. Their week-off, holidays of the year are different.
- Also, the working styles can be very different, some following a strict rule and some a very casual approach to the deadlines.
- All these differences among team members also lead to pressure and conflicts.
