What's an effective way to deal with as well as prevent a conflict in a team?
A conflict related to an issue may be a deeper problem. It can be personal - a lack of vision/direction of the people involved. This can manifest in the form of a disagreement or dispute when really its all about the people involved not knowing what they really want.

Create A Realistic Project Schedule - Integrate WBS with the Scheduling Process !
The WBS(Work Breakdown Structure) is the input for many project management processes, Scheduling being NO exception.
As you would be aware when you decompose the WBS a level or 2 below the work package level (the level where one can estimate for cost & time), you arrive at Activities.
This is a process of integration which ensures that Activities follow from the breakdown of the final project into elements
