Effectively resolving conflict helps stakeholders remain positive and can mean the difference between project success and failure.
In this course, you'll learn about change management and dealing with conflict. You'll explore how to handle it when someone requests project changes, how to create a plan for communicating with stakeholders, and approaches for dealing with conflicts that arise.
