Abstract: Due to the transformation of our society from an industrial society to an information society, the number of projects in companies is increasing, along with their complexity. This complexity of projects brings several problems. One of them is the number of stakeholders, which also increases with the size of the project. A stakeholder is a person or a group of people who are positively or negatively affected by the project or its product. In short: a person who has an interest in the project. Therefore, as the number of stakeholders increases, so does the diversity of interests. When there is a diversity of interests, conflicts will inevitably arise sooner or later.
