Understanding the tensions between requirements
What if reconciling incompatible demands became your greatest project asset?
In this key module of our Project Management & Operations course, you will discover why conflicting requirements are much more than just an operational difficulty: they reveal strategic tensions, hidden issues, and sometimes divergent objectives between stakeholders.
➤ This module can be taken individually to develop a targeted and transferable skill in any project. It can also be part of the overall course for structured skills development in managing compromises and arbitrations.
You will learn to:
- Identify the most frequent sources of contradictions in requests
- Understand how these tensions can impact the success of a deliverable
- Decode the stakeholder interactions and logic underlying business requirements
- Change posture, from an execution logic to a balancing act between feasibility, value, and stakeholder alignment
Why take this module?
Because projects rarely fail because of technology, but often because of bad decisions made on the basis of poorly defined compromises. This training equips you to recognize warning signs as soon as a need is expressed.
The key: strategic know-how for any functional analyst or project manager wishing to play a true decision-making interface role and move beyond the role of a simple mediator.
This module is for you if you are asking yourself:
- “How do I manage two stakeholders with opposing requirements?”
- “How do I prevent my project from failing due to a lack of arbitration?”
- “How do I identify the real priorities behind the requests made?”
- “What is my influential role in the scoping phase?”
Gain relevance, influence, and impact from the moment the need is expressed.
