Project Management Professional (PMP) Exam Practice – Question1820

Two team members on your current construction project are engaged in a major argument concerning the selection of project management software. They refuse to listen to each other. The most appropriate conflict resolution approach for you to use in this
situation is______________


A.
Accommodating
B. Compromising
C. Collaborating
D. Forcing

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

Explanation:
Forcing, using power or dominance, implies the use of position power to resolve conflict. It involves imposing one viewpoint at the expense of another. Project managers may use it when time is of the essence, when an issue is vital to the project’s well-being, or
when they think they are right based on available information. Although this approach is appropriate when quick decisions are required or when unpopular issues are an essential part of the project, it puts project managers at risk.
