Project organizational view: “Conflict may be beneficial.” Traditional view: “Conflict is bad.” Working with Executives Question 2: How should project managers react when they find inefficiency in the functional lines? Should executive management become involved? The reaction of the project managers towards inefficiency in the functional lines depends on the severity of the inefficiency. It is would be appropriate for the project managers to first assess the inefficiency to be able to know how to develop a solution. If after speaking to functional managers and monitoring the implementation of the solution, there is no change, the inefficiency remains major then reaching out to the executive management will be a good idea. The Variables for Success Question 3: What is an effective working relationship among project managers themselves?

There are several things that count as an effective working relationship among project managers such as a relationship where project managers have clear communications, which make it possible to know who needs help before it is too late, and everyone suffers for it.
