Provide on-the-job training by pairing team members with external experts for a short period.

Delay the project phase until the team can learn the skills on their own.

Send team members to a formal training course, even though it will delay the project.

Assign the tasks that require the missing skills to external contractors.

What is the recommended approach to conflict resolution within a project team?

Ignore conflicts and hope they resolve themselves

Always side with the project manager's opinion

Address conflicts early and openly, focusing on the issue rather than personal blame

Remove the conflicting team members from the project

A project manager is communicating a major change in project scope to a group of stakeholders who are resistant to the change. The project manager needs to gain their buy-in. Which communication technique is most likely to be effective?
