Needham (2010) states that Cassandra was gifted, since she was able to provide accurate articulation of dangers that were prone to happen. Sadly, no one took her warnings seriously. Nowadays, Cassandra case can be applied in a vast range of managerial settings, thus, in this regard, project management is the umbrella term. The identification of an unrecognized danger should always result in timely and effective actions.
Stakeholder-oriented management is likely to be effective, once stakeholder’s interests all along different stages are taken into account. As the conflict minimization technique, Cassandra case is handy. It helps to identify potential conflicts as well as find a set of paths that ensures conflict-minimal development. The distribution of conflicts is in line with resolution efforts (Kasi & Sarma, 2013). According to Hewitt (2011), graph databases are considered as an alternative to the relational data model. It is worth noting that graphs nicely represent data so that the estimate timeframe along with the cost can be calculated. However, in order to ensure the successful completion of the project, it is imperative to conduct discussions with stakeholders. Moraveck (2013) admits that one of the obstacles for effective project management is conflicting agendas. Apparently, opposing views make it rather challenging. Therefore, it is vital to identify barriers to project success as well as empower others to professional growth. While talking to stakeholders, it is of the utmost importance to recognize all warnings and eventually take charge of things within own control. Apart from that, the project environment along with feasibility study should not be ignored. Risk exposure is prone to occur in case there is a lack of cooperation and risk analysis.
