| If it's a matter of intellectual disagreement then rational approaches
using examination of the merits of the different opinions is likely to
be helpful. Think of using:
- Explicit statement of the "facts" that are under discussion
- there are often quite erroneous perceptions.
- Comparison of criteria.
- Consideration of the consequences of each approach.
- Examination of similar situations and what was done there - history.
If it's a matter of personality differences (often amount of work performed)
resolving is often harder. It's certainly worth considering the same techniques
as for intellectual disagreements. It's often helpful in addition to:
- Use a third party mediator - another team member.
- A cooling-off period.
- Discussion of the "feelings" involved - usually with an
agreement to let each person speak their piece while the other listens
in silence.
