This week's portfolio template for PPMP20011 discusses the impact of project management standards and frameworks on commercial negotiation, and evaluates project management tools for conflict resolution via negotiated solutions. The reading sample, Collaborative Project Procurement Arrangements (2015) by Derek H. T. Walker and Beverly M. Lloyd Walker, is also discussed.

negotiated solutions.
1. In what way would Project Management Standards and Frameworks
impact on Commercial Negotiation?
The establishment of an organised facility for having an active and effective
communication standards develop within a project progression it is required
that the proper project management standards and frameworks are established
within the organisation. It is also to be specified that not all the communication
that happens within a project is feasible to be called as a negotiation process.
This also needs to be enlisted within a proper framework to make sure that the
discussion between the organisation the clients and the third party is going
through a proper process of listening and responding for providing each other
regarding the requirements. Therefore it can be said that it is essential that
project management standards and frameworks create an impact over the
communication within a project to help the feasible and effective negotiation
skills walk to identify hidden additional items mini project progression and
negotiate about it when it is required.
Walker & Walker (2015) discuss the general thrust of this investigations in
Chapter 7 (p 137) what are your thoughts regarding:
2. Do the conclusions in Chapter 7 p 137 seem reasonable to you?
The conclusion that the author draws in chapter 7 can be completely agreed to
be considered as a reasonable one. If there were a solid identification of the
gaps in the production of KSAEs, it would be much easier for analysing the
competency of the project management. This is just because the project was
getting much more complicated during its progression and further investigation
would have helped the current project manager to find out the guidelines that
could have been used to bridge a proper gap, which had initially orchid during
the process of investigation.

Walker & Walker (2015) then in Chapter 7 talk about a “PraXitionerr” what are
your thoughts regarding:
3. Do you agree with the authors that a PraXitioner is the way forward?
PraXitioner is a latest trend within the project management arena, which is
considered as the latest trend. this is a reason why it has a higher demand in the
eyes of the project management as they have a higher expectation from a
project when they utilise PraXitioner for their outcomes. When a project
reaches a complexity sach hai that it is described as a professional maturity
PraXitioner helps in reflecting upon the contracts and forms a considerable
foundation of the routine behaviour. This builds up effective practice in the
building of the project. it can therefore be completely agree to that PraXitioner,
being the latest trend in project management area has the ability to put forward
all the famous and concept for the project management practices, far behind.
Continuing the theme of the PraXitioner Walker and Walker look at Implications
for PM Education and Skills; what are your thoughts regarding:
4. Do you think that there will be a future shortage of good PraXitioner’s
in Commercial Negotiation situations?
Usually this tool makes sure that a project management practitioner becomes
reflexive and reflective while analysing the negotiations situations. In the
commercial negotiations situation it cannot be justified that a shortage of good
PraXitioner be expected. in a commercial negotiation situation it is expected
that every project management team has included a considerable reflexive and
reflective person for the practitioner in process who have effectively analysed
every situation within the project.
In the last part of Chapter 7 is a Summary of the Walker and Walker book; what
are your thoughts regarding:
5. Do you agree with the authors?
it is completely agreeable that in chapter 7 the author's have been able to

present a very good conclusion in the summary portion. It is also an agreeable
factor that the entire discussion can be wrapped up over this summary and it
identifies all the gas that is present within the project management for
practitioners. The authors have specifically made sure that the study identifies
all the gaps within the project regarding the owners of a project understanding
their responsibilities with the help of a literature review and list of publications
as reference to make sure that they are humans are supported enough.
Weather clear reading of all the references the authors can only we agreed to
with more.
6. Do you think that RBP is a good framework for Commercial Project
Negotiation?
The choice of a particular category of relationship based document as an RBP
form make sure that a project procurement process is going through the most
feasible process. Along with that it also follows a good Framework that is
required for project negotiation in the commercial field. this Framework make
sure that all the project manager is involved within the organisation for the
particular projects are aware of the deliverables and making sure that they are
delivered physically. All the decisions have been taken because of the gaps being
identified within the project management process.
In conclusion to this week:
7. Do the ideas in Chapter 7 help in structuring your thoughts around
Commercial Project Negotiation?
This particular chapter structures all the thoughts that has gathered within the
mind of a reader going through the entire book regarding commercial project
nurse association since it identifies that a particular free what needs to be
design for the project management process to essentially understand the
commercial project negotiation process. the developed Framework make sure

that all the communication that happens within the members of a project team
is essentially transparent and identifies all the hidden information and gases
that are present within the project.
