3. Differentiate
methods of project
negotiation, conflict
management, and
stakeholder
engagement across
projects consisting of
differing technology
standards and asset
lifecycles.
The conflict management terminologies that are used in the processing of the
project engagement are as follows: -
 The openness of the employees of the organization to the changes are
the major reason for the performance of the business organization
 The facts that the flexibility must be maintained for the processing of
the project are also another way to manage the processing of the
project. In case the project does not possess flexibility the data
procession will ensure the fact that processing of the task will be
processed with the functioning of the task

5. Explain the
consequences of
project delays,
disruptions, and
changes to planned
activities and the
methods for claims
variations, liquidated
damages, contract
entitlements, and
arbitration.
The consequences of the project delay are s follows: -
 Terminating of the entire project due to the fact that the data
processing ensures the fact that the goodwill of the clients regarding
the project decreases.
 The data that are incurred during the procession of the data of the
organization are the only aspect that deals with the processing of the
managerial procedure
