B. Negotiate a mutually agreeable feedback cycle with acceptable timelines. Since both project managers are equal in seniority and report to the same functional manager, the most constructive approach is to directly address the communication issue by negotiating a clear feedback cycle that is acceptable to both parties. This will help establish boundaries and ensure that updates are provided at regular intervals without the need for constant, reactive requests. A negotiated agreement can help maintain a professional working relationship and avoid unnecessary escalation.
