Explanation

When a Project Manager discusses salary, working hours, travel requirements, and benefits with prospective team members, she is engaging in Negotiations. Negotiations is the key tool used during the 'Acquire Project Team' process to reach mutually agreeable terms for team member assignments. The other options are outputs or planning documents: the Staffing Management Plan defines how and when staff will be acquired; an Organizational Chart shows reporting relationships; and a Project Team Directory lists contact information. None of those involve the back-and-forth discussion of employment terms described here.
