Infighting

Quoting a sentence from each of your 5 points to show that you've assumed a conflict to be resolved for IT's benefit, if not in its favor:

If the business side routinely criticizes your IT team, get together and ask them for guidance.

Although listening carefully to user requirements is the first step, being self-critical as an organization is also necessary.

Change is impossible until a team accurately recognizes its own weaknesses.

As I have previously written, ?These groups have interlocking, and often conflicting, agendas that drive many projects toward failure.?

For these reasons [not specified], gaining consensus among participants and stakeholders is sometimes hard.

[End quotes.]


Not disagreeing with general principles.

But I suggest that if managing conflict is the goal, then the methods for doing so become valuable.

How to disagree and progress.

Haven't you identified your next important topic?
