Preassignment, negotiation, acquisitions, and virtual teams are tools and techniques of the Acquire Project Team process. As the project manager, you will use the negotiation technique a lot. You'll have to negotiate with functional managers and other organizational department managers—and sometimes with the vendor to get some of their best people—for resources for your project and for the timing of those resources.
Preassignment can happen when the project is put out for bid and specific team members are promised as part of the proposal or when internal project team members are promised and assigned as a condition of the project. When staff members are promised as part of the project proposal—particularly on internal projects—they should be identified in the project charter.
