This portfolio delves into the role of the project manager in commercial negotiation, covering topics such as conflict management, stakeholder engagement, and the impact of project delays. It references readings and personal experiences, including involvement in projects like bridge construction and the Chunel project, to illustrate key concepts. The portfolio addresses learning outcomes related to differentiating negotiation methods, managing stakeholder relationships, understanding the consequences of project disruptions, and evaluating project management tools like Gantt charts and PERT charts. The student reflects on applying these concepts in real-world scenarios and references various sources, including the PMBOK Guide and academic papers, to support their analysis. Desklib offers a wide array of study resources, including similar assignments and past papers, to aid students in their academic pursuits.

I have experienced several processes of stakeholder engagement and project
negotiation. I have been a part of the project that has been related to the
construction of a bridge. This project has helped me in assessing several
technologies involved in the project. The Chunel project helped me to
understand and evaluate the various methods that are utilized in maintain a
project cycle.
