Explanation

Forcing (also called directing) is a conflict-resolution technique where one party pushes their position through without acknowledging or considering opposing views. The project manager is essentially overriding dissent to keep the project moving - a classic example of forcing. Avoiding means withdrawing from the conflict entirely. Mitigating reduces the impact of a risk or conflict. Accepting means acknowledging the conflict but taking no action. Negotiating involves give-and-take from both sides.
