To tackle conflicts and deadlines in my team, I prioritize open dialogue to understand concerns, set realistic goals with team input to ensure deadlines are achievable, and use the conflict as an opportunity to promote collaboration for better teamwork and solutions. This approach helps align the team and drive towards successful delivery.

1. Communication Breakdown: Miscommunication or lack of communication can lead to misunderstandings about project goals, responsibilities, and deadlines, which can contribute to conflict. 2. Unrealistic Expectations: Setting deadlines that do not align with the team’s capacity or the project scope can create pressure and frustration, leading to disagreements. 3. Resource Constraints: Limited resources, whether in terms of personnel, time, or tools, can hinder progress and lead to conflicts when team members feel unable to meet expectations.

As manager, I address problems such as team conflicts directed towards delivery timelines through open discussions where all concerns that may be raised about work organization, satisfaction, or relations are serviced. I ensure the concern of the whole team is towards the completion of one project because otherwise, it has been experienced that priorities may clash due to differences in understanding. When required, I change the duration of the tasks so that people are able to contribute within realistic times scales and timelines. Tasks are also allocated to the individuals according to their specialization in order to enhance efficiency and minimize disagreements. Finally, it is healthy to emphasis cooperation instead of competition.

Open Communication: Foster an environment where team members feel comfortable expressing their concerns. Hold a meeting to discuss the issues openly. Set Clear Expectations: Ensure everyone understands the project goals, deadlines, and their individual responsibilities. Clear and realistic expectations can reduce misunderstandings. Prioritize Tasks: Work with the team to prioritize tasks. Focus on the most critical features and functionalities that need to be delivered first.

The major things I have found in a software industry is an agreed time scale, and open dialogue. When I was in the supervisor role, having all programmers at the same time was almost impossible, putting a gap on common decisions moreso on when to release the product. To resolve this, assign everyone a schedule with a time when you all meet as well as make everyone deliver his code before the deadline irrespective of his availability, and this will help you get a smart decision on when to deploy the product with the few that will be available at the agreed time.
