Resource Conflict

A resource conflict occurs when multiple tasks, processes, or individuals need the same limited resource at the same time, leading to competition and potential delays. For example, two applications trying to access the same printer or a team member trying to book the same meeting room simultaneously. Managing resource conflicts involves prioritizing, scheduling, or allocating resources efficiently to ensure smooth operation and prevent bottlenecks. Recognizing and resolving these conflicts helps maintain productivity and prevents frustration caused by unavailable or overused resources.
