Explanation
When workshop participants disagree about process steps, a Process Map (visual flowchart of the opportunity stages) is the most effective tool for achieving consensus. A visual artifact makes the disagreement concrete and discussable, allowing both teams to see, compare, and negotiate the differences in their processes. Creating the map first, then scheduling a follow-up meeting with both teams, ensures structured alignment rather than an unresolved workshop conflict. Option A (postponing and emailing leadership) defers the problem without resolving the underlying disagreement and risks delaying the project. Option C (reviewing Setup in the production org) only shows the current technical configuration - it does not facilitate team alignment or address regional process differences.
