A project manager is leading a team where two experienced developers have different approaches to solving a critical technical problem. One developer advocates for a proven, conservative solution, while the other proposes an innovative but untested approach. The disagreement is creating tension and affecting team productivity. Which TWO conflict resolution approaches should the project manager use FIRST?

Problem-solving - Focus on understanding the underlying technical requirements and constraints to find the best solution

Compromising - Find a middle ground that incorporates elements of both technical approaches

Forcing - Make a decision as project manager to resolve the technical conflict quickly

Collaborating - Work together to evaluate both approaches against project objectives and find the best solution

Avoiding - Allow the developers to work out the technical disagreement independently

Smoothing - Emphasize the technical expertise of both developers and minimize the importance of the differences
