In this episode, we address conflict management strategies, including smoothing, forcing, compromise, collaboration, and avoidance. You’ll learn when each approach is appropriate, how it impacts team morale, and its potential influence on project outcomes. The PK0-005 exam includes scenarios where selecting the right conflict resolution method is key.

We also cover phase gate reviews, which are structured decision points where stakeholders assess progress, quality, and readiness to proceed. Real-world examples show how effective conflict resolution and rigorous phase gate reviews reduce risk and ensure alignment with objectives. These practices improve both exam readiness and execution-phase performance. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com, where you’ll find more cyber prepcasts, books, and information to strengthen your certification path.
