During the video, Elwood P. Dowd indicates "Oh,an element of conflict in any discussion is a very good thing. It shows everybody is taking part and nobody is left out." (Understanding Projects, 2022, 24:24).

During the discussion of the Project Life Cycle, the author states:

The Project Manager should proactively cultivate these relationships throughout the project. Building effective relationships with stakeholders is very important, as it will help the Project Manager in virtually all aspects of managing the project, including communicating with stakeholders, resolving issues, and making changes to the project. (Barrett, 2021, p. 26)
