3. Differentiate
methods of project
negotiation, conflict
management, and
stakeholder
engagement across
projects consisting of
differing technology
standards and asset
lifecycles.
The different methods of the negotiation of the stakeholders and the employees
are as follows: -
 Accepting the views of the other part: - This ensures the fact that the
listening of the views of the other party is the most important process
of maintaining the negotiation. This ensures the fact that the
proceedings of the views are evaluated in the processing. This enables
the fact that the data collected by the employees are done by the
processing of the information
 Flexibility: this ensures the fact that the flexibility of the processing of
the organization is maintained which will help in the processing of the
data efficiently
