First, asking questions after-the-fact may not elicit information about how people wereexperiencing a situation in the moment, as people often forget or distort events. Second, peoplemay be reluctant to share certain information, particularly in a situation where interviews wouldeither be conducted by another faculty member or a graduate student.

Initially, there was no planned structure for each person; the coachallowed each individual faculty member to choose the agenda and topic to work on for thesession.

We explain how negotiations are an important element of life in general, and specifically in project management. Example applications of negotiation in project management include: definition of project scope; development of budget and schedule; management of conflict between team members; analysis of requests for changes to scope, schedule, cost, and specifications; handling results of project audits; and
