Conflict management

Technical

• Organise a tech session (1-2 hours max) with a clear agenda (what is to discuss, what should be the outcome, who presents)

• proponents present their solution, with pros and cons on itself and vs other solutions

• if the objective and available solutions are clear and doable, the outcome can be voted on (democratically)

• if there are more questions (inconclusive objective), reorganise a new session, where someone will be delegated to prepare answers to those questions (and share them preferably before the session)

Personal

• face to face in private

• be transparent

• listen

• start what do you have in common with that person

• ask and try to view their perspective and motivations

• agree on what both could to work toward the common goal, or reduce tensions
