1. PMO for
Commercial Planning
and Commercial
Project Management
The objective of this week’s topic is to make sure you have a broad
understanding of commercial planning and commercial projects.
Try to ask yourself the questions that were posed in the 1st week’s lecture :-
1. What is a Commercial Planning?
Answer We can explain commercial planning as the process and
technique of developing the modes and methods of operations for the
successful completion of the project by analysis and evaluation of the
monetary or commercial dependency of the project. The development
of the commercially successful projects would be formed for involving
the accurate and appropriate process of developing the commercial
plan of operations. The projects of implementation of business
processes and construction of the building infrastructure would be
developed for integrating the effective and innovative processes of the
organization.
2. What is a Commercial Project?
Answer The commercial projects are defined as those set of projects
that have the profound scope for developing the success of the project
in terms of commercial factors. The projects like construction of retail
business centre and installing application based for online operations of
retail industries can be considered as commercial projects. The
commercial projects require modes and methods of operations for the
successful completion of the project by analysis and evaluation of the
monetary or commercial dependency of the project.
3. What role does Commercial Planning and Commercial Project
Management have in the project, program, and a portfolio hierarchy?
Answer The commercial planning and commercial project
management would be deployed for building the proper project

operations and development within the system of the implementation
for the organization. The analysis and development of the project,
program, and portfolio hierarchy would result in forming the simplified
processing of the operations. The use of commercial planning and
commercial project management would help in lowering the chances of
occurrence of flaws of the project. The probability of the achievement
of the project success would be increased by the use of the proper
integration management. The deployment of the effective project
management concepts would be helpful for the development of the
improved processes in the organization.
4. Are there any essential keys for success between the participants of
large scale projects?
Answer The essential keys for the success achievement among the
participants would involve the use of proper communication and
development. The analysis of the project would be formed for
integrating the development of the improved facilities of the
organization. The communications play a significant role in forming the
appropriate development role for the system integration and
supplementary development of the operations for improving the scope
of the project.
In the Wikipedia article and the other readings for the Channel Tunnel
(Chunnel); Project try to explain:-
5. How much negotiation would have occurred during the project?
Answer The development of the project would involve the
management of the effective processing and development of the
operations. The development of the successful projects would be
formed for involving the accurate and appropriate process of
developing the project negotiation. The project negotiation is
developed for forming the integration of the effective processes and
management of the operations within the organization. The good level
of negotiation would help in integrating the improved services of the

project to form the development of the operations.
6. Who would the negotiation have been between?
Answer The project involves the development of the stakeholders of
France and United Kingdom for the successful completion of the
project. The involvement of the two governments would require the
use of the project negotiation and development. The negotiation of
the project would involve the management of the terms and conditions
of the project contract in development of the effective processing of
operations. The probability of the achievement of the project success
would be increased by the use of the proper integration management.
7. Would successful negotiation have mitigated any of the subsequent
outcomes?
Answer Yes, the successful completion of the project negotiation
would help in forming the development of the improvement strategies
for forming the occasional deployment of contracts and procedures.
The involvement of the project would help in building the improved
construction process for yielding the analysis of the project integration
and management.
8. What would have been required to undertake successful negotiation
between the parties?
Answer The understanding of the project objectives would help in
forming the development of the effective processes for the
implementation of the project for the development of the project
integration and development. The analysis of the processes would be
formed for integrating the development of the processes. The
evaluation of the project would tend to imply the sufficient
development of the project operation and it would enhance the
implication of the project integration management. The successful
project negotiation would help in evaluating the concepts of the
integration management for the construction project.

try to explain:
9. Do cultural dimensions of the participants impact on the Collaborative
Negotiation Methodology?
Answer The cultural dimension would be helpful for forming the
development of the active deployment of the project operations. The
collaborative negotiation would help in forming the integration of the
various participants like owner, constructor and A/E for integrating the
management of the project integration management.
10. Does the type of Contract impact on the subsequent Negotiation?
Answer The contract impact would be formed for the analysis of the
subsequent project development and contract management. The
various conflicts of the project would be formed for analysing the
development of the checklist of the negotiation and development for
the project. The integration of the project would help in critical
development of the project for the management of the contracts and
management. The analysis of the project negotiation would involve the
development of the project progress and operations.
11. What is your overall conclusion of the paper?
Answer The paper had been developed on the Commercial Planning
and Commercial Projects and Channel Tunnel project. The development
of the project would tend to involve the development of the proper
project case scenario for the analysis of the potential conflict and
selection of the method of delivery process. The potential development
of the project would form the support for implying the development of
project negotiation.

3. Project Negotiation Are any of the questions above relevant to the learning outcome on the left?
Some questions like project negotiation and development would tend to
evaluate the concept of realization of the project integration management. The
analysis of the project would tend to form the project negotiation of the
operations of the project.
