As the project manager, arranging a meeting to encourage open communication between the team members helps resolve conflicts efficiently. By facilitating a discussion, you enable them to share their perspectives, fostering collaboration and finding a mutually agreeable solution. This approach utilizes your role as a facilitator and promotes teamwork. Deciding on the technical approach yourself may disregard the expertise of team members and harm morale. Ignoring the disagreement allows issues to persist and potentially worsen. Replacing team members is drastic and can further disrupt the project due to onboarding time and loss of expertise.
