CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 91

The design team and development team disagree about what technology should be used for a major requirement. A brainstorming meeting takes place, where both teams focus on the mutually agreed-upon deliverables.
Which of the following conflict resolution techniques did the teams use?

Answer options

• A. Compromising
• B. Smoothing
• C. Confronting
• D. Forcing

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Compromising, because both teams focused on finding common ground regarding the deliverables, which is a hallmark of compromise. The other options, such as Smoothing and Forcing, do not involve addressing the needs of both parties in a way that leads to mutual agreement, while Confronting typically implies a more direct conflict approach rather than collaboration.
