Explanation
When conflicts arise among diverse stakeholders, many conflicts stem from differing assumptions about the project and constraints imposed on it. Performing an assumptions and constraints analysis as the first step helps surface hidden or conflicting assumptions that are driving disagreement and risk. Brainstorming and Wideband Delphi are group techniques best used after the environment is better understood. A SWOT analysis is useful but broader; assumptions and constraints analysis is more targeted at the root cause of stakeholder conflict and is the foundational first step in risk identification within a conflicted environment.
