PPMP20011 Course Portfolio for Week 9: Project Management Negotiation

This assignment is a Week 9 portfolio from the PPMP20011 course, focusing on applying project management standards and frameworks, particularly within commercial negotiation contexts. The student answers questions related to project management standards, their impact on commercial negotiation, and the role of project management maturity. The portfolio explores the 'PraXitioner' concept, its relevance to project management education, and potential future shortages. The student reflects on the provided readings, including Walker & Walker (2015), and relates the week's topic to previous weeks' content, as well as the work of Alfredson & Cungu from the Food and Agriculture Organization. The assignment also addresses stakeholder engagement, project delays, and conflict resolution tools, referencing relevant literature like Kerzner (2013) and the PMI's PMBOK Guide. The portfolio demonstrates an understanding of project management principles and their practical application in real-world scenarios.

PM methodologies.
Walker & Walker (2015) then in Chapter 7 talk about a “PraXitioner” what are
your thoughts regarding:
5. Have you come across a PraXitioner?
Answer: No, I have not yet been able to see a PracXitioner in real life
6. Do you agree with the authors that a PraXitioner is the way forward?
Answer: The reflective thinking and development would be formally
improved by the practice of becoming a PraXitioner in real life. Hence, I
agree to the fact that the way of looking forward is applicable by
following PraXitioner in real life

Answer: It had provided theoretical knowledge for deployment of the
integration and management.

for PM Education and Skills; what are your thoughts regarding:
8. Do you think that there will be a future shortage of good PraXitioner’s
in Commercial Negotiation situations?
Answer: Yes, the future shortage of good PraXitioner would require the
development of commercial negotiation and documentation
9. If so then how do you think they should be trained?
