The elements generally include project, negotiation interaction procedure, participants as well as collaborative negotiation methodology as well as project outcome.

The project characteristics of project 1 are generally based on the perspective of Cochrane and Turner four quadrant

The justifications for these characteristics are that this perspective is found to be quite beneficial for the entire system of payroll in context to the forward strategy. This is mainly because this perspective mainly has improper methodology however have properly developed goals of the project. In addition to this, it is found that this perspective is widely used within the projects of engineering.
