A 'collective disagreement' still represents a conflict that can impede an agile team's progress and decision-making, particularly where self-organization and rapid adaptation are key. The project manager's role is to facilitate a resolution by applying suitable conflict resolution techniques (e.g., collaborating, compromising, or problem-solving) to help the team achieve a unified path forward.

Engaging in individual conversations might gather information but is less effective for resolving a collective disagreement and reaching a shared team consensus efficiently.

Simply calling a team meeting for 'formal discussion' without a proactive strategy for conflict resolution may not effectively resolve a divided team and could prolong the issue.

Allowing the team to work through significant collective disagreements on their own can lead to stagnation, increased tension, or suboptimal solutions if they lack established, effective conflict resolution practices.
