Compromise — PMP - Project Management Professional Practice Questions

Compromise, also called reconciling in the PMBOK framework, is a conflict resolution approach in which all parties make concessions to reach an agreement that partially satisfies everyone. The PMP exam distinguishes compromise from the preferred collaborate or problem-solve approach, noting that compromise may leave all parties partially dissatisfied because no one gets a fully optimal outcome. Candidates should be able to identify scenarios where compromise is appropriate, such as when time constraints prevent a full problem-solving effort, while recognizing it is generally a second-best option.
