Question 1

Conflict
Conflict case III
At the weekly project meeting, Olivia (project manager), informs the project group that another project had booked the laboratory at the same time when they had made a preliminary booking (that had disappeared) to keep up with their time plan. Olivia informs that Rasmus (project manager of the other project), insists that his project needs to use the laboratory since they are working with one of the company’s most important customers.
Several group members get upset and tell Olivia (project manager) that she has to complain to someone in senior management and demand access to the lab. Olivia had made the booking first and it is not their fault that the person in charge had failed to register it.
Peter (technical expertise) in both projects then reluctantly tells the other group members that he has known about the mix-up for a while and has been discussing it with Rasmus. Peter says that he told Rasmus that Olivia’s project should be able to handle a delay and that he has promised the other project priority.
Several people in the group now turn against Peter and release their anger on him “How could you do that?!” It is no being loyal to us, and you don’t have any right to make agreements like that!”
Just like the others, Olivia feels let down. Why hadn’t Peter said anything about this to her? As the project manager, this is something that she should handle, not Peter. She has had several unnecessary conversations with Rasmus and the person in charge of the bookings. Why hadn’t Rasmus mentioned that he had already discussed this with Peter? Would Peter have done the same if she was a man? She felt both stupid and angry.

Select one alternative:

Question 7

IMGD Case

A project group consists of seven members, the project’s scope is to revise the product portfolio to recycled materials. The project group has been working for two weeks full time.
When asking Sara, one of the group members, about the project, she shared that there are several things that are unclear regarding routines in decision-making.

Question 10

The project goal was to change the entire project portfolio at a producing company. The product manager, Lars Bengtsson, took the initiative and composed the project group. He saw himself as most skilled in working on technical matters and appointed one of his colleagues, Niclas Andersson, as the project leader and handpicked the other group members. When the project started, the product manager, Lars Bengtsson, didn’t follow the work routines for technical tasks and made decisions without getting them sanctioned by the project leader, Niclas Andersson. The project members got frustrated when some of the technical work, due to Lars Bengtsson’s decisions making, had to be redone and complained to the project leader that the routines for decision-making no longer applied. When they didn’t get any straight answer from the project leader, they turned straight to the product manager for answers instead. The product manager then accused the project leader of having lost control over the project.
